Regional metropolis

Japanese: 広域中心都市 - こういきちゅうしんとし(英語表記)regional metropolis
Regional metropolis
The size of the metropolitan area (area) that a city serves varies depending on the level of its functions. The city with the largest metropolitan area is called the national center (such as the capital), while the regional center with the next largest metropolitan area is called a regional central city in Japan's administrative sense. Examples of regional central cities include Sapporo, Sendai, Hiroshima, Kanazawa, and Fukuoka. They have populations of 500,000 to 1 million, have central administrative functions as regional centers, and are planned to have a wide range of social and cultural facilities.

都市は,その機能の度合いによって,機能の及ぶ範囲 (都市圏) の大きさが異なる。最も広い都市圏をもつものを国家中心 (首都など) と呼ぶが,その次に広い都市圏をもつ地方中心を,日本の行政上で広域中心都市と呼ぶ。札幌,仙台,広島,金沢,福岡などがそれにあたり,人口 50万~100万,地方の中心として中枢的管理機能をもち,また種々の社会的,文化的諸施設の充実が計画されている。
