| China Plans New Mega City
http://newsfeed.time.com/2011/01/26/...illion/?hpt=T2 Quote:
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.

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.
