Line 723:
: Indeed the Rotterdam-Amsterdam submunicipality is interesting, but as of yet, there is still the Rotterdam/Amsterdam main municipality.
: All this said, I still hear no argument why agglomeration should be adopted instead. There should be a very strong reason for agglomeration over municipality. That the classical municipality may indeed be less stable in the Netherlands compared some other countries is not an argument in favour of adopting agglomeration. So why is agglomeration a good term; is it more objective/stable then municipality (I doubt that), and who says it is a good idea (otherwise it is original research to put agglomeration over city).

Within the Dutch situation, the size of a municipality tends to become of much less importance than the socio-economic cluster it belongs to. Using the rather modest amounts that hold true for the population of cities auch as Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Utrecht and Eindhoven --to name but a few-- do give only a very poor and totally inadequate image of their real quantitative weight. It is mainly for that reason that modern surveys base their data and their policy makeing on agglomerations rather than municipalities.
