The Ostrava urban area is the largest urban area in the metropolitan area with a population of 365,000.[1] The metropolitan area roughly corresponds to the administrative Moravian-Silesian Region. The population of the metropolitan area is 983,000 according to the European Spatial Planning Observation Network.[1] An alternative definition, the Eurostat Larger Urban Zone, lists a population of 1,153,876.[2] The Ostrava metropolitan area is sometimes combined with the Silesian metropolitan area to form a wider urban region with a population of 5,294,000.[1]
