Àmbit metropolità de Barcelona is one of the seven territories defined by the Regional Plan of Catalonia. It is located in the central coast of Catalonia, in Barcelona and its influence area.
It is formed of five comarques: Baix Llobregat, Barcelonès, Maresme, Vallès Occidental and Vallès Oriental. It has been suggested by local authorities that Alt Penedès and Garraf should form a separate administrative entity called Vegueria del Penedès, as Penedès was a historical territory, or vegueria, with two comarques: Baix Penedès and Anoia. To a large extent coincides with the Barcelona metropolitan area.
Àmbit metropolità is the most populous vegueria with 5,012,961 inhabitants, and a density of 1,549 inhabitants/km2.
