The Sun Corridor is equivalent to Indiana in both size and population. It is one of the fastest growing conurbations in the country and is speculated to double its population by 2040.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=America 2050 )〕 The largest metropolitan areas are the Phoenix metropolitan area - Valley of the Sun - and the Tucson metropolitan area. The regions' populace is nestled in the valley of a desert environment.〔 Similar to Southern California, the urban area extends into Mexico, reaching the communities of Nogales and Agua Prieta.〔 Its population is composed of a total of four metropolitan areas: Phoenix, Tucson, Prescott and Nogales. Out of these, two are metropolitan areas with over 1,000,000 residents: the Phoenix metropolitan area with 4,192,887 residents and the Tucson metropolitan area with 1,020,200 residents. The Arizona Sun Corridor is made up of all of Maricopa, Pinal and Pima counties, along with parts of Yavapai, Santa Cruz and Cochise counties.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=America 2050 )〕 It is home to over 86 percent of Arizona's population. The Megaregion has an area an population that is about the same as the state of Indiana (About 5.6 million people), and it is expected to grow to nearly 7.8 million by 2025. By 2050, it is projected to grow to more than twice its original size (12.3 million, about 118% growth and 6.66 million additional people). It comprises about 2% of the population of the entire United States, and it makes up about the same proportion of the total GDP, with an output of $191,036,000,000 in 2005. Most of the Arizona Sun Corridor is in the Sonoran Desert; to the south of the region is the border between the United States and Mexico, and to the east is the Arizona transition zone and the Mountains of Arizona. The Southern California Megaregion is to west and is the nearest other Megaregion to the Arizona Sun Corridor. ==Extent== The Arizona Sun Corridor lies in the American Southwest, about halfway between the Southern California and Front Range Megaregions. It is shown on the map in deep blue. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Arizona Sun Corridor」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
