Ch. 4 Megalopolis

The city of Monterey itself is not part of a Megalopolis, but the nearest one would be San Francisco, which is 2 hours north of Monterey. That Megalopolis consists of the cities of San Francisco, Oakland, Sacramento, San Jose, Stockton, Modesto, Fresno, and Reno.


San Francisco is considered a Megalopolis because of its proximity to the ocean; its many harbors; the many major freeways including the 101, 880, and 280; its large population of 12.7 million people in that region, and much more.
