What determines what 'region' a locality is in?
Stephen Osborn wrote:
De facto a continuous built up area is a single _something_, the only question is what. The phrase Metropolitan Area is used because these somethings are relatively new and contain a number of things already called cities. The word you're looking for is conurbation. Or if it contains a number of things already called cities, it's a megalopolis. |
