Note: the Golden Triangle is defined by London, the Ruhr and Paris. The Central Regions are identified in the SecondCohesion Report (CEC 2001h) as bounding 14 per cent of the EU-15 land area, 33 per cent of its population and 47 per centof its GDP. The Pentagon, bounded by London, Hamburg, Milan, Munich and Paris, covers 20 per cent of the EU-15 land area, 40 per cent of its population and 50 per cent of its GDP (Schön 2000 and also Fourth Cohesion Report , CEC 2007b). A variation in the Third Cohesion Report (CEC 2004a) includes northern England.
