The identification of the metropolitan area was limited to the surrounding localities in a radius of about 30 km around Cluj-Napoca. This distance is considered in EU the best practice for the development of the peri-urban space. The Cluj Metropolitan Area (CMA) is located in Cluj County, the north-western development region of Romania. The Cluj Metropolitan Area is composed from voluntary association of communes plus the city of Cluj-Napoca, forming an urban network composed of two metropolitan rings. The first metropolitan ring is the purpose of our study. The transformation of communes into residential and complex clusters is also analyzed. The seven localities inside the first ring had significant changes in population and land use between 2002 and 2020. The increase of the population and decrease of the agricultural land area are premises in achieving urban homogeneity in the metropolitan area.

Keywords: Cluj Metropolitan Area, metropolitan rings, urban space, rural clusters.
