A conurbation is an agglomeration of urban areas forming a single large multi-centred built-up area. The term was coined by the Scottish biologist and urban theorist Patrick Geddes (1854-1932). It has entered into the common terminology in fields such as demography, ekistics, social topography, and other socio-anthropological disciplines.
