These 'megapolitan' areas are networks of metropolitan areas sharing common economic, landscape, social, and cultural characteristics. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe rise of 'megapolitan' areas will change how America plans. For instance, in an area comparable in size to France and the low countries of the Netherlands and Belgium – considered among the world's most densely settled – America's 'megapolitan' areas are already home to more than two and a half times as many people. Indeed, with only eighteen percent of the contiguous forty-eight states’ land base, America's megapolitan areas are more densely settled than Europe as a whole or the United Kingdom. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMegapolitan America\u003c\/em\u003e goes into spectacular demographic, economic, and social detail in mapping the dramatic – and surprisingly optimistic – shifts ahead.
