METROPOLIS A metropolis is a very large city or urban area which is a significant economic, political, and cultural center for a country or region, and an important hub for regional or international connections, commerce, and communications. The term is Greek and means the mother city of a colony (in the ancient sense), that is, the city which sent out settlers. This was later generalized to a city regarded as a center of a specified activity, or any large, important city in a nation.
METROPOLITAN AREA (TO PROVIDE CLARIFICATION) A metropolitan area, metro area or metro is a region consisting of a densely populated urban core and its less-populated surrounding territories, sharing industry, infrastructure, and housing.[1] A metropolitan area usually comprises multiple jurisdictions and municipalities: neighborhoods, townships, citi es, exurbs, counties, and even states. As social, economic and political institutions have changed, metropolitan areas have become key economic and political regions.[2]

MEGAPOLIS AND MEGALOPOLIS A megalopolis (sometimes called a megapolis or megaregion) is typically defined as a chain of roughly adjacent metropolitan areas. The term was used by Oswald Spengler in his 1918 book, The Decline of the West, and Lewis Mumford in his 1938 book, The Culture of Cities, which described it as the first stage in urban overdevelopment and social decline. Later, it was used by Jean Gottmann in 1957, to describe the huge metropolitan area along the eastern seaboard of the U.S. extending from Boston through New York City; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Baltimore, Maryland and ending in Washington, D.C.
Auckland Context
Megaopolis: Great City and representing one million. While great city might be a subjective term giving different interpretations of it, wider Auckland is the only city with over one million people. You could say Auckland is a Great City due to its world global city ranking (Beta) and its economic/population clout the city has in NZ. So on those literal terms alone Auckland is a Megaopolis and should always be treated as such. Megalopolis: Now this is where it gets interesting on definition and planning fronts. Auckland housing 34% of New Zealands population and its sheer size topography wise compared to other urban areas in New Zealand could give the feeling compared to the world Auckland is a city of exaggerated size for where it is. 26/06/2013 Benjamin Ross "Copyright (c) 2013 Totarim Consultancy Limited.
