conurbation

n. large urban community made up of several cities or towns

A conurbation is an urban area comprising a number of cities, towns and villages which, through population growth and expansion, have physically merged to form one continuous built up area. It is thus a polycentric form of agglomeration. This term is commonly used in the United Kingdom. A Green Belt is often used to stop conurbation.
