Megalopolis (shenzhen)

The meaning of Megalopolis: an extensive metropolitan area or a long chain of continuous metropolitan areas.I was surprised by this reading in our text book.The reading was about the city of shenzhen near Hong Kong. For a moment I was thinking of my home town, Bonao, with its growing population and new enterprises that are being set recently. Maybe if we were more patriotic and our worthiest people invest here instead of abroad,Bonao would be another shenzhen.
