Megapolic or megalopolis

[Alina Israeli]

>My Webster's lists megalopolis first, but gives megapolis as well. So I
>guess either is correct.

Megolopolis is (according to Webster) "an extensive, heavily polulated,
continuously urban area, including any number of cities." I.e. the area
between Washington DC and Boston.

Megapolis (accroding to Webster) is a metropolis.
