Megacities — places with more than 10 million people — are becoming the new normal.
Right now, most megacities are in Asia: Tokyo, Shanghai, Beijing, Mumbai, Delhi, Manila, Jakarta… the list keeps growing. These massive urban hubs are shaping global culture, economics, and migration more than ever.
Africa is also starting to rise fast. Cities like Lagos, Kinshasa, Addis Ababa, and Dar es Salaam are expanding at record speed and are on track to join the megacity club by 2050. Latin America already has long-established giants like Mexico City, São Paulo, and Buenos Aires.
Meanwhile, Europe and North America have far fewer megacities — places like New York, Los Angeles, London, and Moscow remain exceptions rather than the rule.
