- lukasm 10y agoFrom wiki Population (2014-12-31) • City 717,624 • Urban 2,221,910 • Metro 5,500,000 I wouldn't be surprised that there is 7mln that can commute to Frankfurt.
- allendoerfer 10y agoFrankfurt has some smaller outpost cities, which are extremely rich like Königsberg and Bad Homburg (this is why Frankfurt is not Munich-expensive and nowhere near London-expensive) and there are a few major cities from which you can easily commute like Darmstadt, Offenbach, Wiesbaden and Mainz plus people from villages all over Hesse work in Frankfurt. Still Frankfurt itself is a small village with an airport and a few towers. The city itself calls it "the biggest village in Hesse" [0].
