Some megacities in the end develop into world cities. World cities can be defined as the command and control points for global capitalism. They are distinguished by size and by the range and extent of their economic power.
Megacities also have a number of advantages and disadvantages. The number of disadvantages tends to increase and become worse when the size of the megacity increases. Some megacities have alos become unsustainable (eg. Los Angeles and Mexico City) due to the fact that because they spread over a large area, demand for energy is huge.
Some examples of Megacities:
Tokyo - Japan , New York City - USA , Mumbai - India , Sao Paulo - Brazil , Cairo - Egypt , Moscow - Russia , Seoul - South Korea , Beijing - China , Dhaka - Bangladesh , Paris - France , Istanbul - Turkey , Delhi - India
