Aarhus is also a part of the larger East Jutland metropolitan area. This is a new metropolitan area, the first meeting between the cities and the Danish state has begun to find a broad corporation and a common identity. The cities have not yet grown together and they probably never will because the Danish state will protect the green areas so it not will grow into a new Danish "Los Angeles". The municipalities below are what traditionally constitutes east Jutland but more cities can probably become a part of the new corporation.
The statistics below show data for the Aarhus metropolitan area and for the East jutland metropolitan area.
