Mega City Challenges

Mega City Challenges examines the pressing issues arising from the rapid growth of urban centers, focusing on how humanity can navigate the unprecedented challenges of concentrated populations. It addresses the strain on resources, the rise of socioeconomic disparities, and the urgent need for sustainable solutions. One key insight is how the density of mega-cities exacerbates existing problems, straining infrastructure and deepening inequality.

The book uniquely chronicles the historical arc of urbanization to provide context, contrasting traditional urban planning with proposed adaptive, inclusive, and ecological governance models.

The analysis progresses from defining mega-city characteristics to exploring specific issues like transportation, housing, clean water access, public health, and climate change, using global case studies and GIS maps to visually illustrate resource distribution. By investigating ongoing debates, the book emphasizes the need for integrated solutions that balance economic growth with environmental protection and tackle social inequalities.
