What are characteristics of megacities?
Show answer
Megacities are vast, densely populated and economically dominant within their countries. In developing nations they often grow faster than infrastructure can keep up, producing large informal settlements (slums) alongside modern districts, sharp inequality, and heavy strain on transport, water and sanitation.
