	Ten Geographic Ideas that Changed the World
		The term can be used in two ways: as the proper name for Gottmann's original study area -- the urbanized Northeast of the United States -- and as a generic term for the coalescence of metropolitan areas into a continuous network of urban development.
		Megalopolis symbolized an enlarged scale of urban life, new forms of spatial organization, changing modes of economic behavior, and the advent of information as the raw material of urban economic life.
		Gottmann went so far as to argue that megalopolis signaled a turning ponit in the history of human settlement.

	Studies on Megalopolis along the Middle and Lower Reaches of Yangtse River
		Jean Gottmann, a famous geographer, gave a good answer in his significant works published in l96l: "Megapolis: The Urbanized Northeastern Seaboard of the United States".
		According to Gottmann Jean's megalopolis theory, megalopolis means a large city system, which possesses super-door location (such as international sea ports or river mouth ports), is distinctly separated from other units by less urbanized areas, and plays an important international exchange function for trade, technology and banking in the areas it is located.
		According to Gottmann's megalopolis analyses, the door location is the key for industrial belts to evolve megalopolis.

		It was the "first significant effort to compel international attention to the problems and the future of megacities," said Fidel Valdez Ramos, former President of the Philippines and Chairman of the BFA Board of Directors.
		The concept of megacities was first put forward in the 1950s by French geographer Jean Gottmann (1915-94) to describe the metropolitan area from Boston to Washington.
		According to Gottmann, a megacity should have a population of at least 25 million with a density of at least 250 people per square-kilometre.

	URBAN CONGLOMERATION
		Gottmann, who studied the Northeastern United States during the 1950s, concluded that the area between Boston and Washington, DC was a continuous interconnected conglomeration of metropolitan areas.
		Gottmann recognized that these cities had a variety of geographic landscapes and were not one continuous urban center, but more of a large functional urban area including suburbs.
		This overlapping of influence on surrounding suburban areas is the foundation that forms the connections in a megalopolis.

	Megalopolis Forty Years On - Christianity Today magazine - ChristianityTodayLibrary.com
		Forty years ago, in 1961, Jean Gottmann, a French geographer in the United States, published a book called Megalopolis: The Urbanized Northeastern Seaboard of the United States.
		Gottmann didn't coin the word "megalopolis." It derives from the name of a city created in Greece in the fourth century B.C. to serve as the capital of a federation of city states.
		For Gottmann, a megalopolis was not merely a "mononuclear metropolitan agglomeration" but rather a vast "polynuclear urbanized system," of which there were only six or seven examples to be found worldwide.

	Kenneth Frampton - Megaform as Urban Landscape \| MAP \| TCAUP
		It is a story of exceptional heroism which has a mythic and somber tone due to his inexplicable and still unresolved disappearance at the end of thc war.
		Since 1961 when the French geographer Jean Gottmann first employed the term megalopolis to allude to the northeastern seaboard of the United States, the world population has become increasingly dense with the result that most of us now live in some form of continuous urbanized region.
		One of the paradoxical consequences of this population shift is that today we are largely unable to project urban form with any degree of confidence, neither as a tabula rasa operation nor as a piecemeal aggregation to be achieved through such devices as zoning codes maintained over a long period of time.

		As Gottmann has argued, "the telephone's impact on office location has thus been dual: first it has forced the office from the previous necessity of locating next to the operations it directed: second, it has helped to gather offices in large concentrations in special areas."(3)
		Such technologies are enhancing New York City's role as an international information centre while contributing to the dispersal of routine office functions to other parts of the region and the nation.

		As he said, megalopolis will be an important index of modern civilization and advanced developed countries or areas.
		According to Jean Gottmann's megalopolis theory, there are three megalopolis or metropolitan zone in China that will become into being:

	Discussion
		The alternative perspective, drawn largely from the history of the telephone, holds that communications technologies can facilitate both concentration and dispersion of economic activities.
		As Jean Gottmann (1977) has stated, "The telephone's impact on office location has thus been dual: first, it has freed the office from the previous necessity of locating next to the operations it directed; second, it has helped to gather offices in large concentrations in special areas."
		George Sternlieb and James W. Hughes' essay, "Information Technology, Demographics, and the Retail Response," builds upon the Gottmann thesis by examining the way in which economic and demographic forces have contributed to both centralizing and decentralizing trends.

	Capital Cities Project
		I situate capitals as a specific form of an "information city": not just in its late 20th Century incarnation as a high-tech, financial and media center (Castells 1990), but also in its older role as a center of governmental and military information processing, of political decision-making, of power-brokering, of census and tax gathering.
		"A capital is a transactional crossroads catering to the problems and needs of vast areas from where transients come to the capital, in more or less regular and recurrent fashion, to transact diversified business or gather information" (Gottmann and Harper 1990, 81).
		In a decentralized federal system, the capital is analogous to the corporate headquarters: the result of the spatial division of labor, with the primary decision-making in a single, central location, and the implementation/production in many locations.
