Metropolitan area

Okay, kiddo. So, you know how sometimes we go to the city to visit your auntie? Well, that city is a part of something called a metropolitan area. Think of it like a big family, with the city being the dad and all the little towns around it being the kids. The dad city is the center of the family and all the little towns are like its siblings.

When we think of a metropolitan area, we're talking about a big area that includes the city and all the little towns surrounding it. It's like a big group of places that are all connected and work together. They share things like roads, hospitals, schools, and stores. Sometimes, the people who live in the little towns might work in the city or go to school there, and people from the city might visit the little towns for things like shopping or recreation.

So, when we say "metropolitan area," we're talking about a big group of places that are all connected and work together to make life easier and more fun for the people who live there. It's kind of like a family, where everyone helps each other out and works together to make things better.
