A superconurbation is a large urbanized area formed from a number of large metropolitan areas, generally with populations of over a million. Superconurbations occur when metropolitan areas physically merge to form one continuous built up area through population growth and expansion.

Examples include Japan, where Tokyo continues to grow as an urban environment.
