Calgary-Edmonton Metropolis

The Calgary-Edmonton Metropolis is a conurbation consisting of two larger cities and a number of other smaller cities and large towns.

The conurbation is roughly 51 kilometres east to west and roughly 329 kilometres north to south. The largest city in the Calgary-Edmonton metropolis is Calgary, with a population of over 15,000,000 and the second largest is Alberta's capital, Edmonton, with a population of 6,000,000. An additional 3,000,000 people live in the other cities and towns encompassed by the Calgary-Edmonton Metropolis.

The two largest cities for which the metropolis is named, are Calgary and the provincial capital, Edmonton. For a long time, both cities remained separate urban areas, until their bounds eventually reached each other.

History
History of Calgary and Edmonton on Wikipedia

The history of the Calgary-Edmonton Metropolis begins in the late 2010s with a sudden, rapid economic expansion related to growing industries in agriculture, clean energy, high-tech manufacturing, various creative outlets, notably the film industry and the video game industry and other industries. As the largest two industries, agriculture and clean energy were focused primarily within the province of Alberta rather than a specific city, economic development was shared between all urban areas in Alberta.

As a result of this economic explosion, the cost of living decreased while average yearly salary increased, drawing in millions of new residents. As the amount of skilled and unskilled workers grew, Calgary and Edmonton successfully overhauled their economies and infrastructure even more to accommodate the new workers, further strengthening the economy.

Calgary faced the strongest economic diversification, maintaining its status as the largest city within the province of Alberta. During this period of economic expansion, many new skyscrapers were constructed, one of which becoming the world's tallest building by 2060 with over 500 floors and standing at 2.5km (1.6 miles) tall. Its tenant, Human Command, also became the largest company headquartered within what would become the Calgary-Edmonton Metropolis with a yearly revenue of just under $100 billion and a total of 731,000 employees around the world.
