Greater Isfahan metropolitan area is a metropolitan region in Isfahan province, central Iran.[citation needed] This region, although not having any official designation and recognition yet, is the second biggest one in Iran, behind the capital city Tehran (Greater Tehran). The overall region has a population of over 4,900,000 with an area of 4500 km2 and extends along Zayandeh Rud, the main river axis through the province, and also along the northern-southern axis of the city, plus a western axis towards Lorestan province. The region is a transportation hub and an industrial centre having concentrated all steel related industries in it. The region is also home to important military installations and centres, including nuclear facilities and airbases.
