The Kiev metropolitan area ([Київська агломерація; Kyivs’ka ahlomeratsia] Error: {{Lang-xx}}: text has italic markup (help)) is an unofficial agglomeration consisting of the capital of Ukraine, Kiev, its satellite towns and nearest rural areas (located within Kiev Oblast) closely bound to the city by employment and commerce.
The metropolitan area includes the following cities: Kiev, Berezan, Boryspil, Brovary, Vasylkiv, Irpin, Rzhyschiv, and Fastiv[citation needed]. The city of Kiev also creates a very close conurbation with such cities as Irpin-Bucha, Brovary, Vyshhorod, and Vyshneve, while cities Boyarka and Boryspil are located in close vicinity. The town of Kotsiubynske is located within the city limits of Kiev, while being subordinate to the city council of Irpin.
The agglomeration stretches over some 11 raions of Kiev Oblast: Baryshivka[dubious – discuss], Boryspil, Borodianka, Brovary, Fastiv, Kaharlyk[dubious – discuss], Kiev-Sviatoshyn, Makariv, Obukhiv, Vasylkiv and Vyshhorod.
The area is linked to Kiev through the suburban railways and minibuses.
- Total population: 3,648,900 (some other sources[which?] bring 4,130,000 - 5,206,000).
- Suburban population: 1,076,000.
- Total area: 13,534 km².
- Population density: 268,4 people/km².
