The aim of this article is to propose a new method for the identification of the metropolitan areas in Italy. This method, based on the spatial density of several metropolitan functions, treats the human mobility as an essential indicator of the metropolitan character of a territory. After a review of the main international and Italian approaches to the definition of the metropolitan areas, and a presentation of the proposed method, the article deals with a brief descriptive analysis of the eight metropolitan areas identified in Italy.
Keywords: Metropolitan areas, metropolitan functions, mobility, spatial analysis, density analysis, Italian cities
