The Jing-Jin-Ji Metropolitan Region is the central part of the Bohai Economic Rim Until 2019, and the publication of National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) guidelines, there was no clear distinction between "megalopolis" and " metropolitan area" ( 都市圈) in China. City cluster ' 城市群' is defined as "n area in which cities are relatively densely distributed in a certain region". In China, the official term corresponding to the meaning of "megalopolis" is ' 城市群' ( chéngshì qún), which literally means "city cluster". In Brazil, the term megarregião has a legal meaning, different from the English word megaregion: mesoregions of Brazil ( mesorregião) and microregions of Brazil ( microrregião). Using these commuter passageways to travel throughout the megalopolis is informally called megaloping, a term coined by Davide Gadren and Stefan Berteau. Modern interlinked ground transportation corridors, such as rail and highway, often aid in the development of megalopolises. The concept is based on the original "Megalopolis model".

Northeast megalopolis ( United States) (top) and Taiheiyō Belt ( Japan) (bottom).Ī megalopolis and its synonym megaregion, following the work of Gottmann, refer to two or more roughly adjacent metropolitan areas that, through commonality of systems-e.g., of transport, economy, resources, and ecologies-experience a blurring of the boundaries between the population centers, such that while some degree of separation may remain, their perception as a continuous urban area is of value, e.g., "to coordinate policy at this expanded scale". ![]()
