The Northeast Megalopolis

The megalopolis encompasses the District of Columbia and part or all of 11 states: from south to north, Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Maine. It is linked by Interstate 95 and U.S. Route 1, which start in Miami and Key West, Florida, respectively, and terminate in Maine at the Canada�United States border, as well as the Northeast Corridor railway line, the busiest passenger rail line in the country. It is home to over 50 million people,[3] and Metropolitan Statistical Areas are contiguous from Washington to Boston.[5] The region is not uniformly populated between the terminal cities, and there are regions nominally within the corridor yet located away from the main transit lines that have been bypassed by urbanization, such as Connecticut's Quiet Corner.

The region accounts for 20% of the U.S. Gross Domestic Product.[6] It is home to the New York Stock Exchange and NASDAQ, the White House and United States Capitol, the headquarters of the United Nations, and the headquarters of ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox, Comcast, the New York Times Company, USA Today, and The Washington Post. The headquarters of many major financial companies�such as J.P. Morgan Chase, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, Fannie Mae, and Fidelity�are located within the region, which is also home to 54 of the Fortune Global 500 companies. The headquarters of 162 of the Fortune 500 are in the region.[7] The region is also the center of the global hedge fund industry, with 47.9% of $2.48 trillion of hedge fund assets being managed in its cities and suburbs.[8] Academically, the region is home to six of the eight Ivy League universities.
