Metropolitan Institute at Virginia Tech: Beyond Megalopolis: Exploring Americas New Megapolitan Geography,
The Metropolitan Institute at Virginia Tech identifies ten U.S. Megapolitan Areas. Clustered networks of metropolitan areas that exceed 10 million total residents (or will pass that mark by 2040).
This Census Report represents the first pass at establishing a new Megapolitan geography. The RPA and Lincoln Institute of Land Policy (this studys funder) are working with several other academic institutions, including the University of Pennsylvania and Georgia Tech, to support similar research. Together with these partners, the Metropolitan Institute at Virginia Tech will produce future refinements of this new geography. One hope is that a standard megapolitan definition can emerge from this collaborative effort that ultimately facilitates an official census designation.
