What's a mega region?

Leading economist, Dr. Richard Florida, says the mega-region of Toronto, Buffalo, Waterloo, Montreal and Ottawa (“Tor-Buff-Loo-Mon-Tawa”) consists of 22 (m) million people and economic activity of $530 (b) billion. He says mega-regions are “the real economic engines of the global economy”. Prince Edward County is in the heart of the “Tor-Buff-Loo-Mon-Tawa” mega-region.

Florida spearheaded an effort to use satellite pictures of the world at night to estimate the economic activity of the mega-regions of the world. He found the mega-region that includes Prince Edward County to be bigger than the San Francisco/Silicon Valley mega-region and those of Paris, Shanghai and Hong Kong.
