Metropolis and Megalopolis, Distinguished
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
A metropolis is a city with its suburbs and exurbs; a megalopolis is an urban corridor joining several metropolises.
Show
One city with its ring of suburbs forms a metropolis; several metropolises grown together along a corridor form a megalopolis.
Watch for
A megalopolis is a chain of connected metropolises, not one very large city; the difference is structural, not merely a matter of size.
