 Business Today Cover Story [The Best States to Invest In, Pg 3]
In keeping with the American penchant for acronyms, these megalopolises have been dubbed Boswash (the area between Boston and Washington D.C.), Chipitts (the area between Chicago and Pittsburgh), and Sansan (the area between San Francisco and San Diego).
A population study done in 1970 had estimated that, at the turn of the millennium, Boswash, Chipitts, and Sansan will have 25, 12, and 6.25 per cent of the total population, respectively.
Clearly, the growing glitter of the western states is concurrent with the fading attraction of the eastern and the central states.

You may have seen these neat NASA maps taken at night of light emitted from the United States, and here it's really easy to tell where the megalopolis is, and you can also identify the two other megalopoli that Gottmann labeled, which are the ChiPitts and SanSan areas.
The SanSan of course goes from San Francisco to San Diego, and the ChiPitts goes from the Great Lakes area and Chicago to Pittsburgh and the Ohio River.
Gottmann wrote about 25 years after his initial book came out, revisiting the megalopolis idea, and in that he labeled this area that the Virginia Tech study has called Piedmont as an up-and-coming area that could qualify as a megalopolis.
