CONURBATION

A conurbation is a large urban area formed by the merging of multiple cities or towns. It occurs when communities grow physically closer together due to expanding populations and development, eventually joining to form a single continuous urban region. Examples include large metropolitan areas like the New York Tri-state region centered around New York City.
