List of largest megalopolises
From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki
A megalopolis (/ˌmɛɡəˈlɒpəlɪs/), sometimes called a megapolis; also megaregion, city cluster or supercity,[1] is a group of two or more roughly adjacent metropolitan areas, which may be somewhat separated or may merge into a continuous urban region. The megalopolis concept has become highly influential as it introduced a new, larger scale in thinking about urban patterns and urban growth.[2]
