Spanish term or phrase: conurbado

I'm not sure if this merely means urban, or perhaps suburban, or maybe "environs". I looked it up, even in the DRAE, and I can't find it anywhere to get a confirmation. TIA!

también de los trabajos de sondeo arqueológico que se han hecho durante muchos años en el espacio conurbado de San Pedro y San Andrés Cholula, en el entorno inmediato de la Gran Pirámide.

Grading comment

I know I'm not supposed to close a question so quickly, but I'm so embarrassed that I didn't recognize this as an anglicized word, that I'm going to give you the points right now and get myself out of here -- I looked in every dictionary but Merriam-Webster's! (That's a lesson!) THANKS!

Diccionario de los usos correctos del español de Alicia Zorrilla:

Conurbación: Conjunto de varios núcleos urbanos inicialmente independientes y contiguos por sus márgenes, que al crecer acaban uniéndose en unidad funcional.
La Academia no registra "conurbano", voz muy usada en la Argentina. La Asociación Argentina de Letras ha recomendado su incorporación en el Diccionario.

Espero que te sirva la referencia.

Notes to answerer

Asker: Anita: Thanks for your help. I wanted to let you know that in Mexico, "conurbado, -a" is widely used (almost 200K hits on Google). But thanks anyway!
