Cities
Many major cities are located on the fall line, the eastern boundary of the Piedmont. Within the Piedmont region itself there are several areas of urban concentration, the largest being the Philadelphia metropolitan area in Pennsylvania. In North Carolina, the Piedmont Crescent includes several metropolitan clusters such as Metrolina, the Piedmont Triad, and the Research Triangle and in Georgia, the Atlanta metropolitan area.

Famous quotes containing the word cities:
“Whilst we want cities as the centres where the best things are found, cities degrade us by magnifying trifles.”

Along the stormy coast,
Penn’s town, New York, Baltimore,
If Boston knew the most!”

“Such poverty as we have today in all our great cities degrades the poor, and infects with its degradation the whole neighborhood in which they live. And whatever can degrade a neighborhood can degrade a country and a continent and finally the whole civilized world, which is only a large neighborhood.”
