The Rhine-Ruhr area in Germany is one of the largest metropolitan areas in the world, estimated at close to 13 million people. It spreads from the Ruhr area megalopolis in the north to the urban areas of the cities of Düsseldorf, Wuppertal, and Cologne in the south.
As a result of suburban spread, today the most northern town of Rhine-Ruhr is Dülmen, the most eastern is Soest, the most southern is Bad Honnef, and the most western is Venlo in the Netherlands.
