Great Lakes Megalopolis, Bi-national megalopolis in Great Lakes region, United States and Canada

The Great Lakes Megalopolis extends from Milwaukee-Chicago to Detroit-Toronto, encompassing metropolitan areas around the Great Lakes and Saint Lawrence Seaway.

French geographer Jean Gottmann introduced the concept of this megalopolis in 1961, identifying it as one of the major urban corridors in North America.

The region contains numerous universities, including the University of Chicago and University of Michigan, which drive research innovation across multiple disciplines.

The transportation network connects major cities through extensive rail services, including Amtrak in the United States and Via Rail in Canada.

The megalopolis handles over 200 million tons of cargo annually through its waterways, utilizing the largest surface freshwater system on Earth.
