Abstract

Several contradictions pose problems of synthesis and integration for agents of governance but keep the field buoyant with possibilities of theoretical and practical innovation. This chapter suggests that expanded dialog and collaboration among the different research and policy communities should be encouraged with a view to resolving some of the existing contradictions of discourse and practice while learning ways of accommodating megacity societies to those that remain.

Fußnoten

Megacities are massive spatially discrete urbanized areas. The U.N. Commission on Human Settlements (United Nations Human Settlements Program 2008) has set the lower population threshold for megacities at ten million. About 45 urban areas have already reached this size or are likely to do so within the next decade. They include: Bangkok, Bangalore, Beijing, Bogota, Buenos Aires, Cairo, Chennai, Chicago, Chongquing, Delhi, Dhaka, Dongguan, Essen, Guangzhou, Ho Chi Minh City, Hong Kong, Hyderabad, Istanbul, Jakarta, Johannesburg, Karachi, Kinshasa, Kolkata, Lagos, Lahore, Lima, London, Los Angeles, Manila, Mexico City, Moscow, Mumbai, Nagoya, New York, Osaka, Paris, Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo, Seoul, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Taipei, Tehran, Tianjin, Tokyo.
