Greater Reykjavík ({{lang-is|Höfuðborgarsvæðið}}, meaning "The Capital Region") is a region in southwestern Iceland that comprises the national capital Reykjavík and six municipalities around it.[5][6] Each municipality has its own elected council. Municipal governments cooperate extensively in various fields: for example waste policy, shared public transport and a joint fire brigade.

The area is by far the largest urban area in Iceland.[7] Greater Reykjavík's population of 216 940 is over 60% of the population of Iceland, in an area that is only just over 1% of the total size of the country. The size of the greater Reykjavík area is calculated from the area of its constituent municipalities, including large areas of hinterland, not the much smaller urban core of about {{convert|200|km2|abbr=on }} [8]

Population and size

Of the seven municipalities that make up the Greater Reykjavík area, Reykjavík is by far the most populated with 122,460 inhabitants; Kjósarhreppur is the least populated with only 217 residents, but has the largest area: {{convert|287.7|km2|abbr=on }}. Seltjarnarnes is the smallest municipality with an area of {{convert|2.3|km2|abbr=on }}.
