This equates to 37.1% of Northern Ireland's population. OverviewThe area was first officially classified as a metropolitan area in the late 1990s when the British government began to prepare for a cohesive plan that would include the Belfast Region. Six local government districts – Belfast, Castlereagh, Carrickfergus, Lisburn, Newtownabbey and North Down, were identified as the key areas within the metropolitan area. The continuous built-up area centred on Belfast, which is contained within these six districts, is defined as the Belfast Metropolitan Urban Area.[1] The Belfast metropolitan urban area had a population of 579,276 in 2001.[2] The area is made up of established towns, their overspill and the general conjoining of settlements as Belfast expands. Established towns include Carrickfergus, Bangor, Lisburn and Holywood. Many of these towns were established and important long before Belfast rose to prominence; Carrickfergus, for example, was the Norman capital of the northern part of Ireland until Edward Bruce's defeat in 1318.[3] Bangor had been an important centre of Christianity and learning from its foundation in 555 AD.[4][5] The recent reclassification of Lisburn as a city does not change its position within the metropolitan area.
