The periphery of the urban areas consists of the overlapping regions of the separate micropolitan areas. This is where the expansion of the megalopolis is likely to occur as each micropolitan area grows and merges with adjacent micropolitan areas. The other choices, such as downtown areas, annexed areas, CBDs, and metropolitan areas, may or may not overlap depending on the specific configuration of the megalopolis.
