• Abstract:
  Megaregions are networks of metropolitan areas that share economic, environmental, and cultural features, as well as infrastructure and geographic connections. Since its inception in the 1960s, the concept of the megaregion has been gradually transitioning from planning theory into planning practice. This effort used a literature review, a scan of long-range planning documents, and case-study research to examine the state of megaregional planning and resulted in the development of regional long-range and local comprehensive planning frameworks, which address opportunities for local and regional agencies to address megaregional issues in their respective long-range plans.
