What: “A functional region is a territorial unit resulting from the organisation of social and. economic relations in that its boundaries do not reflect geographical particularities. or historical events. It is thus a functional sub-division of territories.”

Why: “The concept of functional region provides a way to examine the linkages and flows that create interdependence among people.”

These are quoted from searches, not my own words.

Step-by-step explanation:

A functional region is an area organized to function politically, socially, and economically as a single unit. Functional regions are centered on a focal point that connects other areas by various systems, such as transportation, communication, or economic activities.
