megakent ne demek?

Megakent veya mega şehir, genellikle toplam nüfusu 10 milyonu aşan bir şehir veya Metropoliten alandır.¹ Bir megakent, tek bir metropolitan alan veya birleşmiş iki veya daha fazla metropolitan alan olabilmektedir. Konürbasyon, metropol ve metropleks terimleri de ikincisine uygulanır.

2015 itibarıyla dünyada 36 megakent bulunmaktadır. Bunların en büyüğü olan Tokyo ve Şangay'ın metropolitan alanlarının nüfusu 30 milyonun üzerindedir. Tokyo, dünyanın en büyük metropolitan alan olup Şanghay ise dünyanın en büyük şehridir.

BM, 2030 yılına kadar megakent sayısının 41'e yükseleceğini öngörmektedir.²
