Hello to all blog reader.. how are you? I hope everything is fine.. Theme that I want to share this week is about Megacities.A megacity is usually defined as a metropolitan area with a total popultion in excess of 10 million people. Some definitions also set a minimum level for population density (at least 2,000 persons/square km). Megacities can be distinguished from global cities by their rapid growth, new forms of spatial population density, and both formal and informal economies, as well as poverty, crime, and high levels of social fragmentation. A megacity can be a single metropolitan area or two or more metropolitan areas that converge.
