Metroplex
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A metroplex is a contiguous metropolitan area that has more than one principal anchor city of near equal importance.
It is this "near equal" importance that makes cities such as Tokyo, Mexico City, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Phoenix not metroplexes, though they do have secondary anchor cities in their metropolitan areas.
