A conurbation is an extended urban area formed when multiple cities, towns, or suburbs grow and merge together. This phenomenon often occurs due to population growth and urban sprawl, leading to a continuous built-up area. Conurbations can include various types of residential, commercial, and industrial zones, creating a complex urban landscape. One well-known example of a conurbation is the Greater London area, which combines the city of London with surrounding towns and suburbs. Conurbations can impact transportation, infrastructure, and regional planning, as they require coordinated efforts to manage resources and services across the interconnected areas.
