Document Summary
Cities in the most developed countries tend to coalesce into massive giant urban complexes. Japan is a modern nation and a leader in technological advances. Urban planning and development are very advanced in the country, where entire cities have been rebuilt after wwii; and after major earthquakes, that seem to hit the country far too frequently. Rebuilt cities are showpieces of modern urban planning. Conurbation, super metropolitan region and megalopolis: forms and functions. We have examined the definitions of the three above terms. One begins by consulting a map that confirms that city spaces have coalesced a great deal in. Japan, as their large cities continue to expand, in comparatively small areas. So, cities eventually join into each other, with the intervening rural areas increasingly becoming intertwined with; and often part of; the urban scene. As we know, the three terms represent urban forms, each type representing a different size or spatial dimension.
