A megalopolis (or megapolis) is a network of large cities and surrounding metropolitan regions that becomes interconnected, primarily by transportation infrastructure. This results in a continuous flow of movement and commerce supported by economic development that supports the collective growth of the region.

The term first came up in the United States in the 20th century. It was applied to the area from Washington to New York to Boston, also known as the Northeast megalopolis or BosWash. The heavily travelled commuter hub has a dense concentration of highways to support the population.

In a megalopolis, each city and the surrounding metropolitan area retains its own identity (although the sprawl that results from the geographic proximity of each city links the different regions together). This separates a megalopolis from a megacity, which is treated as a single large city with multiple regions or neighbourhoods.

For more on megacity, see this [[Megacity|link]].

There are more megalopolis regions developing around the world, particularly in Asia. China's Pearl River Delta and Indonesia's Jakarta-Bandung metro area are both examples.
