Megalopolis americana

"In a space as large as France and the Low Countries, the Netherlands and Belgium — considered some of the world’s most densely settled regions — America’s “megapolitan” areas house more than 2.5 times as many people. In fact, although they occupy only 17 percent of the contiguous 48 states’ land base, America’s megapolitan areas are more densely settled than Europe as a whole. Or the United Kingdom. Or Japan. Or India"

Num artigo adaptado a partir de uma publicação na revista Megapolitan America: A New Vision for Understanding America's Metropolitan Geography, traça-se uma panorâmica acerca do crescimento das grandes áreas urbanas nos EUA, designadas por megalopolis. Aqui.
