Stuttgart Metropolitan Region vs. Stuttgart Region

Can someone tell me the difference between the Stuttgart Metropolitan area and the Stuttgart Region? Is one locally defined while the other is nationally defined? Is one a metropolitan area and the other an urbanized area measurement? I'm not understanding why there are two pages for the metropolitan area. --Criticalthinker (talk) 05:44, 28 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
