Rotterdam/The Hague : Identification of metropolitan area

Presentation

The Metropolitan region is a convergence of the two strong agglomerations around the cities of Rotterdam and The Hague. They both have an own unique profile and a distinctive identity. They complement each other well and their strengths act in synergy. Every day around half a million commuters travel from home to work or to training or study.
