pull together


Explanation:
This may be better than "act as one", as the subject is singular, so it's already one!

You may need to rephrase the sentence in any case to make it a plural subject with any of these suggestions apart from Olaf\'s.

eg. The inhabitants of the greater Hamburg metropolitan area need to pull together/act as one/show their unity/combine forces, etc, etc...
