A megalopolis consists of several interconnected cities (and their suburbs), between which people commute, and which are so close together that suburbs can claim to be suburbs of more than one city . Megacity is a general term for cities together with their suburbs or recognized metropolitan area usually with a total population in excess of 10 million people. Cities so merged include Winnipeg, Manitoba (this merger antedates the term, and was called "Unicity" at the time); Halifax, Nova Scotia; Toronto, Ontario; Ottawa, Ontario; Hamilton, Ontario; Montreal, Quebec; Gatineau, Quebec; Longueuil, Quebec; Quebec City , Quebec; Saguenay, Quebec; and Lévis, Quebec.
