What is the Amsterdam Metropolitan Area?

The Amsterdam Metropolitan Area has approximately 2.5 million inhabitants. It consists of 30 municipalities in North Holland and Flevoland, which are divided over 7 sub-regions:

  • Amsterdam
  • Amstelland-Meerlanden
  • Almere-Lelystad
  • Gooi en Vechtstreek
  • IJmond
  • Zaanstreek-Waterland
  • Zuid-Kennemerland

Our region is an important driver for the Dutch economy. This is partly due to airports and seaports, world-class knowledge institutions and creative companies. Here we work on a healthy, clean and innovative region.
