Increasing National Focus on Mega-Regions
“Mega-Regions host business and economic activity on a massive scale, generating a large share of the world's economic activity and an even larger share of its scientific discoveries and technological innovations.”
Richard Florida
“If we want to bolster economic competitiveness and ensure long-run prosperity, we must pursue policies that take mega-regions into account.”
The World Bank
“
The 100 top metros generate 75% of the U.S. gross domestic product. The policy debate centers on mega-regions of 10 million people and up.”
The Brookings InstitutionSlide5
