The Metropolitan Region of São Paulo (in Portuguese Região Metropolitana de São Paulo), also known as Grande São Paulo, brings together 39 municipalities of the State of São Paulo in an intense process of conurbation. The term refers to the extension of the capital São Paulo, which forms a continuous urban sprawl with its neighboring municipalities. The metropolitan region of São Paulo is, according to the preliminary results of the IBGE census for 2010 the most populated of South America and the Southern Hemisphere.
