The scholarly literature presents three different analytic approaches for delineating the boundaries of four megaregions - BosWash, Greater Tokyo, the Amsterdam-Brussels-Antwerp region, and a Global South megaregion. The researchers propose a sequence of steps to guide future research.
The megaregion is viewed as a platform from which to address a variety of issues. Despite agreement that a megaregion is a large, globally connected urban agglomeration, there is no consensus as to how to delineate its boundaries and how it differs from other urban forms. The scholarly literature is dominated by three distinct analytic approaches: interdependent systems, nodal linkages, and satellite data. We assess the utility of each approach in delineating the boundaries of four megaregions - BosWash, Greater Tokyo, the Amsterdam-Brussels-Antwerp region, and a Global South megaregion - and conclude by proposing a sequence of steps to guide future research.
