The metropolitan area surrounding the cities of Malmö and Lund in the southern-most part of Sweden are usually denoted as Sydvästra Skåne (South-Western Scania), or more seldom Stor-Malmö (Greater Malmö) or Metropolitan Malmö, and constitutes the south-eastern part of the Scandinavian Öresund Region. Contrary to the concept of South-Western Scania, there is no common understanding of what is to be included and excluded in Metropolitan Malmö. The cities of Ystad and Helsingborg would typically be understood to be parts of the same metropolitan area as the cities of Malmö and Lund, and so understood the metropolitan area is of roughly the same size as Metropolitan Gothenburg, but clearly smaller than Metropolitan Copenhagen or Metropolitan Stockholm. On the other hand, South-Western Scania is a more limited concept with an identity of its own. Lund, that today is the smaller city, was historically the most important in Scania, with the Lund Cathedral (and Cathedral School) from the 11th century and the Lund University established in the 17th century16th century 17th century 18th century more centuries) As a means of recording the passage of time, the 17th century was that century which lasted from 1601- 1700.

Clustered along the shore of The Sound, from the medieval town of Skanör in the South to BjärredBjarred is a small coastal village (or town) in Scania, in southernmost Sweden, 20 km north of Malmo, 10 km west of Lund. Its population is around 10,000 people. Administratively, it belongs to Lomma Municipality. Notable natives Patrik Andersson, footbal in the North, a set of villages and towns have in the latter half of the 20th century expanded to an almost continuous set of suburbs. The commuter belt in the inland consists of more separate towns and expanded villages. The inclusion of the harbor town Trelleborg at the Baltic SeaThe Baltic Sea is in northeastern Europe, bounded by the Scandinavian Peninsula, the mainland of east and central Europe, and the Danish islands. It drains into the Kattegat and the North Sea by way of the Oresund, the Great Belt and the Small Belt. It is in the South, or the exclusion of Eslöv, Höör and Landskrona in the North, has necessarily to appear arbitrary.
Since the 1970s, improved highways and commuter train connections have ment that the actual metropolitan area has grown to include Ystad, Skurup, Sjöbo, Eslöv, Höör, Landskrona and Helsingborg. It's not uncommon to live by Malmö and work either in Ystad or Helsingborg, or vice versa. Mentally, however, these towns have kept their allegiance with older divisions of Scania. Inhabitants of Eslöv and Höör consider themselves to live in Central Scania, like Landskrona still is grouped together with Helsingborg rather than Malmö–Lund.
