There’s “twin cities” and “tri-cities” everywhere in the world.
Villages grow into towns, which grown into cities, which grow into metropoli. Very often at some point in that process, city borders overgrow each other, until they’re just one big city for all intents and purposes, divided only by a very arbitrary political line. Local people start calling them “The Twin-cities” or “The Tri-city area” by that point, as if there weren’t a thousand others that could be described the same way elsewhere. 😛
Wait… Twin Cities? AWESOME! I LIVE HERE!
