All Denver incorporated suburbs bordering the city. Most of these burbs do look more "suburban" the farther you get from the city line. On the NW side, to about I-25 unincorporated Adams County looks more suburban.

I never realized what a beast Aurora was---almost 400,000 people! Combined with only Denver that's a population of over 1,000,000 in about 307 square miles of land. Meanwhile Allegheny County, PA (Pittsburgh) has only a marginally higher population in 730 square miles of land---much less dense.

Every city in America has suburban cities that blend seamlessly with the main core city or cities.

Yep! Lot sizes are small here. And, we have an airport of 54 sq. mi.

Yes, Aurora is a suburban beast. It has a land area much larger than most US suburbs and several, major cities.

Yep, even Pittsburgh, which notably has below-average suburbs, blends seamlessly into Dormont, Mt. Lebanon, Bellevue, Avalon, Millvale, Wilkinsburg, McKees Rocks, Carnegie, Crafton, Ingram, and a few other jurisdictions.

Philadelphia and Camden. As much as I hate to say it because of Camden’s state it is right across the river.

I do think Sandy Springs feels like another borough of Atlanta—similar to Buckhead.

I think Vinings, Brookhaven, and Dunwoody are like this as well.

One thing about Sandy Springs and Vinings is it the postal address actually has Atlanta for the city. Not sure if that's the case with Brookhaven and Dunwoody.
