The Kaunas urban area (known in Lithuanian as Kauno aglomeracija) is the metropolitan area of Kaunas. The metropolitan area covers two municipalities in the Kaunas County, with a total built-up area of around 250 km2.




Demographics


The largest cities or towns within the metropolitan area are Kaunas, Garliava, Domeikava and Raudondvaris.




Dual city


The dual city of Vilnius and Kaunas (known in Lithuanian as Vilniaus ir Kauno dvimiestis) is an idea to combine the resources of Vilnius and Kaunas in order to compete with larger European cities like Warsaw, Budapest, Bucharest and Prague for Western investments. The plan includes various forms of collaboration and vocalizes the idea (among other projects) of fast commuting between the two (most notably the construction of high speed rail). The plan has not been fully realized, but the idea is slowly being implemented (see: Rail Baltica) and is brought up by politicians every year. The combined metropolitan area of both cities would have a population of more than 1.0 million and would produce more than a half of Lithuania's total GDP.




Economy


In 2020, Kaunas' gross metropolitan product was €10.2 billion. This puts Kaunas in 200th place among cities in the European Union.
