INTERACTIVE DIGITAL ATLAS OF MEGALOPOLIS This atlas is a work of collaboration. It began with a discussion between John Rennie Short and Thomas D. Rabenhorst. John had been working on redefining Megalopolis and analyzing the socio-economic-spatial changes in the region over the past fifty years. Tom thought of using the region as the basis for a term project in the Advanced Cartographic Applications class he teaches. While the data and text were provided, it was the students that discussed and settled upon the atlas overall design. Much appreciation must be extended to Heidi Lynn Brueckner for the development of the interactive web interface. This educational resource is an excellent example of how a team of undergraduate students, with support and guidance from educators can produce a valuable geographic resource for schools and the general public.
