Megalopolis. Seriously.
Have you heard of Megalopolis? Thanks to this jaw dropping visual, it’s easy to see why this population dense region was so named. It’s also fun to say. Megalopolis.
Jean Gottmann penned the term in his 1961 study about urban trends. He determined Megalopolis to be a region within the northeastern United States that extends from northern Virginia to southern New Hampshire. The area includes popular cities like Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York, and Boston.
Today, approximately 50 million people live in this band of 103 counties, representing about 15% of all Americans.
Oh-so-much more available to you at the US Census Bureau website.
