In 1965, futurist Herman Kahn speculated about the future of the three megalopoleis in the year 2000. In the 1960s and 1970s, urban planner and architect Constantinos Doxiadis authored books, studies, and reports regarding the growth potential of the "Great Lakes Megalopolis".

Several of Sparta's neighbours, namely Megalopolis, Elis and many of the Achaians poleis, supported Pyrrhus invasion as they would profit from the reduction of Spartan influence in the region.
