Brabantse Stedenrij (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈbraːbɑntsə ˌsteːdə(n)ˈrɛi]) is a term used in Dutch urban planning to designate the polycentric city region in the province of North Brabant, Netherlands.[3][4] It's erroneously translated sometimes into English as "Brabantine City Row"; a term not attested in English outside Wikipedia until LinkedIn adopted it in August 2020.[5] Its population is about 2 million. The main cities are 's-Hertogenbosch, Breda, Eindhoven, Helmond and Tilburg. Other municipalities of the area are Bergen op Zoom, Oss and Roosendaal. The metropolitan region also includes other large towns such as Boxtel, Etten-Leur, Oosterhout, Uden, Veghel, Veldhoven and Waalwijk.
The Brabantse Stedenrij is home to many large companies. In science, technology & engineering one finds Philips, DAF, VDL, Ciber, Atos, NXP, FEI, GE HealthCare and Thales in Eindhoven, ASML and Navteq in Veldhoven, Vanderlande and Alliance Boots in Veghel, Merck & Co., Aspen and B. Braun Medical in Oss, Fujifilm and Tesla Motors in Tilburg, Bosch Rexroth in Boxtel, and Acer Inc. in 's-Hertogenbosch. Also, the area has a rich agriculture and food industry, e.g. Mars Inc., Agrifirm, Royal Canin and FrieslandCampina's DMV in Veghel, Bavaria in Lieshout, Heineken in 's-Hertogenbosch, Coca-Cola in Dongen, Vion in Boxtel, Perfetti Van Melle in Breda and Unilever's Unox in Oss.
