The Great Lakes Megaregion is a geographic marvel! All told, the cities in this region have direct access to the largest single source of freshwater of any other place on the planet. In a warming world, that freshwater could prove to be quite the bounty. But more than that, the region has carved itself out a unique niche in manufacturing! Something that might have waned over the last few decades, but continues to be a major economic driver for this region, and the United States in general.
In today's video, we'll cover the geography, history, and economics of the region, as well as make the argument that Toronto (and it's surrounding Canadian region) should be included... mostly!
