agglomeration
Sign in to saveextended city or town area comprising the built-up area of a central place and its suburbs
Urban agglomeration is a large built-up area that includes a central city or town along with all the surrounding suburbs and developed neighborhoods connected to it. It matters because it represents how modern cities actually function as interconnected regions rather than isolated urban centers, affecting everything from transportation and employment to housing and services for the millions of people who live across these extended areas.
