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.
