n Öresund Region
.
The metropolitan area
surrounding the cities of Malmö and Lund in the southern-most part of Sweden
are usually denoted as South-Western Scania (Sydvästra Skåne), or more seldom Metropolitan Malmö.
Since the 1970s, improved highway
s and commuter train connections have meant that commuting area has grown to include Ystad
, Skurup
, Sjöbo
, Eslöv
, Höör
, Landskrona
and Helsingborg
. It's not uncommon to live by Malmö and work either in Ystad or Helsingborg, or vice versa. Mentally, however, these towns have kept their allegiance with older divisions of Scania. Inhabitants of Eslöv
and Höör
consider themselves to live in Central Scania, like Landskrona still is grouped together with Helsingborg rather than Malmö–Lund.
In 2006 the municipalities of Eslöv, Höör and Skurup were added into the Greater Malmö area.
