China Plans New Mega City

A city the size of Switzerland? If China gets its way, yes.

Some ambitious apparatchiks in southern China want to combine 9 cities to create an urban area the size of New Jersey and Vermont combined. Mind = exploded

The plan, announced in state media, would unite several existing cities in the prosperous Pearl River Delta region, including Guangzhou (12 million), Shenzhen (8.6 million), Dongguan (6.9 million) and six smaller cities. Together, these cities already account for about 10% of China's economy, the Telegraph notes.

The Party's planners hope improved transport links and better infrastructure be beneficial to the population and to greater economic efficiencies . Other areas in China are facing a similar gravitational pull to merge together, notably Beijing with its southern smaller twin Tianjin, already joined by a high speed train link.
Rich neighbors Hong Kong and Macau will not join the super sprawl, but it's safe to assume that they'd like to have a say in larger regional themes, like pollution control.
The godzilla-like territory has yet to be named.

Another 2000 years till Earth = Coruscant?

well, i surely dont want to go back to china lulz. already pain in the ass having guangzhou by itself. the shiet

just name the whole area Dong Guan

all the whores are in that area anyways.

how long until all of china is one massive city

China already has trouble controlling the pollution in these urban areas as it is...do they think it's a good idea to create a 30+ million pop'n metro?

Meh, It will still be a few Vancouver's smaller than Tokyo.

Is it really surprising that the most populous country in the world wants to have at least one of the top 10 most populous metro areas? Because as of right now they don't.

the future epi-center of a zombie outbreak

:lol guangzhou ftw for food
ftl for clothes unless you wanna buy PAMU track suits

Tokyo's metro population is listed at about 33M.

The article's headline says this proposed mega-city would be 42M.

This sums up Guangzhou very accurately.

A bit off topic, but a zombie movie or game based in china would be epic. Hoards of little people chewing off your shins.
