Scenarios about 'megacity'
A megacity is an urban agglomeration with a population exceeding 10 million inhabitants, representing extreme urban density and complex socioeconomic systems. These massive urban centers emerged primarily in the 20th century through rapid industrialization, population growth, and rural-to-urban migration, creating unprecedented challenges in infrastructure, governance, and resource management. In alternate history scenarios, megacities often serve as focal points for divergent technological development, social transformation, or as symbols of different patterns of global economic power.
