"The size and intensity of such concentrations of wealth and power have been resented by other regions of the countries in which megalopolitan systems have arisen. The other regions claim a more equal share in the sum total of the country's population, wealth, and power. A too-large portion of these seems held in the megalopolitan areas. There is a basic ethical and political problem inherent in geographical concentration on such a scale."
