The Metropolis GZM[1] (Polish: Metropolia GZM, formally in Polish Górnośląsko-Zagłębiowska Metropolia)[2] is a metropolitan unit composed of 41 contiguous municipalities in the Silesian Voivodeship of Poland. The seat of the metropolitan council is Katowice, the largest city of the region and the voivodeship capital. With a population of around 2 million, the core of the Metropolis GZM is one of the largest urban areas in the European Union. The area of the metropolis largely coincides with the metropolitan area of the Katowice urban area, which is a part of the wider polycentric transnational Upper Silesian metropolitan area, the latter with a population of 5–5.3 million people.[4][5]

Metropolis GZM was created in June 2017 act of Parliament, with its boundaries defined by a regulation of Poland's Council of Ministers which expanded the earlier existing Upper Silesia Metropolitan Union (Polish: Górnośląski Związek Metropolitalny). That original union was formed ten year earlier in Świętochłowice by 14 core cities.[6][7] The purpose of the metropolis is to maintain a strong urban and industrially developed area with internationally competitive profile and unified management of all infrastructure.[8][9] For these tasks, the metropolis receives 5% of the income tax of its residents and participating municipalities.
