Straight uncreased spine. -- An innovative exploration of America's urban and regional landscapes, proposing a fresh framework for understanding the complexity and dynamics of metropolitan development in the 21st century. The book introduces the concept of "Megapolitan America," which redefines traditional notions of metropolitan areas by focusing on larger, interconnected regions known as "megaregions." These areas, which often span multiple states and incorporate various urban, suburban, and rural zones, are characterized by shared economic interests, transportation networks, and cultural ties. The book argues that recognizing these regions as the fundamental building blocks of America's urban future is crucial for effective planning and policy-making. Key Themes and Topics: - The emergence and significance of megaregions in contemporary American geography; - Analysis of demographic, economic, and social trends driving metropolitan growth and transformation; - The role of urban planning and policy in shaping sustainable, resilient, and inclusive metropolitan areas; - Challenges and opportunities associated with managing urban sprawl, transportation networks, and infrastructure in megaregions; - Case studies of major American megaregions, including their unique characteristics and development trajectories. "Megapolitan America" delves into the implications of this new geographic framework for urban planners, policymakers, and scholars. It provides a comprehensive overview of the factors influencing the growth and evolution of America's metropolitan landscapes, from population dynamics and economic restructuring to environmental sustainability and governance challenges. By adopting a megaregional perspective, the book offers valuable insights into the complexities of urbanization in the United States and underscores the need for innovative approaches to regional planning and development. It calls for a shift from fragmented, city-centric planning strategies to more integrated, regional approaches that reflect the realities of contemporary metropolitan life. The book is a must-read for urban planners, geographers, sociologists, economists, and anyone interested in the future of America's cities and metropolitan regions. It provides a compelling vision for a more connected, prosperous, and sustainable urban future, making it an essential resource for understanding the challenges and opportunities facing America's rapidly changing urban landscapes.
