Question: How many municipalities are in the area, sometimes referred to as metro area, greater area, commuter belt or conurbation of the capital and largest city of the Brazilian state of Paraná?
Context: Resistencia (] ) is the capital and largest city of the province of Chaco in north-eastern Argentina.  According to the 2010 census, the population of the city proper was 291,720 inhabitants.  It is the anchor of a larger metropolitan area, Greater Resistencia, which comprises three more municipalities for a total population of 387,340 as of 2010.  This conurbation is the largest in the province, and the eleventh most populous in the country.  It is located along the Negro River, a tributary of the much larger Paraná River, opposite the city of Corrientes, Corrientes Province. Greater Mexico City refers to the conurbation around Mexico City, officially called Valley of Mexico Metropolitan Area ("Zona Metropolitana del Valle de México"), constituted by Mexico City itself composed of 16 Municipalities—and 41 adjacent municipalities of the states of Mexico and Hidalgo.  For normative purposes, however, Greater Mexico City most commonly refers to the Metropolitan Area of the Valley of Mexico ("Zona Metropolitana del Valle de México") an agglomeration that incorporates 18 additional municipalities.  As of 2010 Census, Greater Mexico City had a population just over 20 million, making it the largest metropolitan area in North America just ahead of the New York metropolitan area.  But as of a 2014 census, it's estimated the population of Greater Mexico City was 25.4 million people, making it the largest urban agglomeration in the western hemisphere.  It is surrounded by thin strips of highlands which separate it from other adjacent metropolitan areas, of which the biggest are Puebla, Toluca, and Cuernavaca-Cuautla, and together with which it makes up the Mexico City megalopolis.
