Greater Portsmouth is an unofficial term sometimes used for the conurbation surrounding Portsmouth in Hampshire, England, although containing similar locations it is not to be confused with the Portsmouth Urban Area because it is smaller. [citation needed] The Portsmouth urban area can be looked at as part of a larger multi-centred conurbation also including Greater Southampton, in the general South Hampshire region.
The area covered by the Portsmouth Urban Area was redefined for the 2001 census to include Stubbington/Lee-on-Solent (previously treated as a separate urban area). The 1991 total for the area as currently defined was 430,265, implying an increase of 2.8% between 1991-2001.
