twin cities
Twin cities refer to a pair of cities that are geographically close to each other, often on the border of two jurisdictions, and are similar or complementary in function, size, and status. They are usually linked by close socio-economic, cultural, or historical ties and are typically formed over time due to the growth and expansion of the cities towards each other. Examples include Minneapolis and Saint Paul in Minnesota, USA; or Budapest, formed by the merger of the cities Buda and Pest in Hungary.

Twin cities
Twin cities are a special case of two cities or urban centres that are founded in close geographic proximity and then grow into each other over time. The term Twin Cities in the United States refers specifically to the cities Minneapolis and Saint Paul, both of which are in the midwestern state of Minnesota. Cities twinned geographically do not necessarily match demographically, economically, or politically. In most cases, cities that grow into each other's space in this way lose their individual identities, and whatever border or barrier still separates them becomes irrelevant as they fuse into one new city. One famous example of this is Budapest in Hungary, which began as two settlements facing each other across the Danube at a strategic fording place along a trade route. However, there are twin cities which have been able to resist this final union and have maintained individual identity against the tides of history, economics and demographics. Twin cities often share an airport, into whose airport codes are integrated the initials of both cities; DFW and MSP are examples. In some cases, such as Albury/Wodonga in Australia, the two cities are permanently divided by a state border, often one that strictly adheres to a geographical landmark, such as the Murray River that divides New South Wales from Victoria, and thus Albury from Wodonga.
