[A new geography is transforming how a large quantity of the world’s population lives and works. The Megaregion, a vast expanse of urban, suburban and sometimes even rural territory connected through economic, social, cultural and environmental linkages is a global reality. Megaregions consists of more than 10 million inhabitants and can stretch across national and international political boundaries. These ‘endless cities’ can be found on North America, South America, Europe, Africa and Asia. In this chapter we will explore several Megaregions located within China and the United States of America. These two countries offer interesting case studies from which to begin to understand the importance of Megaregions and the impact they have on the planet. The discussion that follows will attempt to define the unique characteristics and provide a better understanding of the evolving urban geography of Megraregions in each country. It is interesting to analyze this emerging geographic phenomenon in light of the drastically different political and economic realities of the United States and China. As you will discover, both countries have witnessed the development of similar Megaregional structures, but through vastly different circumstances and processes. While, not discussing why Megaregions have become so important for each country, the discussion that follows does provide an excellent overview of this global experience in select Megaregions of China and the United States.]
