If you are discussing the largest cities in Latinoamérica and you want to clarify that you are refering to the populations of the metropolitan areas as opposed to populations within the official borders of the cities, what spanish term would you use for the "general metropolitan area"?

In Argentina, I know they refer to is as "El Gran Buenos Aires" (the city and its closest metropolitan developments).
In other countries, I have heard "El área metropolitana de Caracas, Bogotá, Santiago, etc", which includes the "casco urbano" (city center) and the outskirts.
I hope this helps!
