outer suburb

This would be the Australian and North American equivalent. In the UK you would probably refer to it as "commuter town".

metropolitan area

Just a suggestion:

A metropolitan area is a large population center consisting of a large metropolis and its adjacent zone of influence, or of more than one closely adjoining neighboring central cities and their zone of influence. One or more large cities may serve as its hub or hubs, and the metropolitan area is normally named after either the largest or most important central city within it.
