Megacities

1998
What makes a city a megacity? How did these large pockets of populations come together, and why are so many people attracted to them? Five megacities are closely examined here: New York, Bombay, Paris, Mexico City, and Tokyo. Read about the history, employment, housing, education, environment and future of each of these world cities. See how each city has influenced the society in which it exists. The site is in English and Dutch.
