How big can cities get?

𝘿𝙚𝙡𝙝𝙞 𝙘𝙞𝙩𝙮 ❤

1🇺🇸🌈🎄🖼✝️🌈🚬☕️💪🥷🏽🏈 THE CITY CALLED HUMANITY WAS THE FIRST TO DIE...IT WAS THE LARGEST ON PLANET EARTH...

Wouldn't merging cities diminish their unique qualities and homogenize them? I'd rather see distant cities grow independently and become more interconnected using technology like the Internet.

It always ends and finishes where it started

8:08 the germans are everywhere 🇩🇪🇩🇪

0:21 I think this is not Jakarta Indonesia, but Kathmandu city or Karachi

As long as enough food and water, with energy can be found, and then the cities collapse.

Please react to Tate McRae

Tokyo was an eye opening experience. Concrete on concrete on concrete.

A big city wouldn't be that bad if they built skyscrapers that don't cost 10,000 dollars a month 😅

0:53 NOT WITH THAT ATTITUDE!!! 😂

please post a follow up of why and what the cause and effects would be

That footage of the highway in Beijing is the most dystopian/ugliest scene I think I’ve ever seen.

thats not jakarta lol

I think the first gigacity of the world will be Pearl River Delta. Moreover, I doubt there will be a second one considering the rapidly decreasing fertility rates all over the world.

Tbh, i dont care about the population of a city, i just care about the institutions, economy, standard of living, crime rate, tourism districts and average income

how can LA or NY be classified as a megacity when it says in google that they dont have 10 million people?

Ncr is fit in all categories and still growing 😊

I just want to live in the mountains man

Pickleball…

Global warming might have an issue with this.

It was only around 2000 years ago when Rome hit a million people, imagine the world 2000 years from now

How big can cities get? Hypothetically, they can be as big as coruscant from star wars.

I live in the bush and don't even like going into the nearby town of 15,000 people. These megacities sound like hell on earth.

Ba Sing Se

7:22 people from bristol work in london, sounds stupid and idk why but they do and it’s like a 1:30 hr drive

Lagos in 2050 will be like LA in blade runner with >100 million people 😬

Uneducated

Wow your Chinese pronunciation was really good.

How can we continue on this path? I refer to the book "The Limits to Growth." It contains a message: we can create a society in which we can live indefinitely on earth IF we impose limits on population and the production of material goods to achieve a state of global equilibrium between population and production. A lot of energy is required to sustain a certain level of livability with so many people.

Just noticed that nobody's talking about tehran,and for a good reason: it's mid asf.seriously,the traffic (and pollution) is insanely high.i'd say it's pretty walkable (excluding the poopoo air) but jeez,try going with some sort of public transport that shares space with cars and youre cooked

6:59 Already you can actually take a high speed train between Beijing and Tianjin in 21 minutes. Of course you have to get to the station and to your destination on either end, but it really doesn't seem infeasible at all.

Cities in the USA can get much bigger. The Miami metro area will eventually stretch all of the way up through Jacksonville to the Georgia border and maybe up through Savannah and into South Carolina.

Tokyo is not really technically the biggest city just biggest metro just because cities grow together doesn't mean they all become one big city

You can make the argument that whole country of japan is itself a "Giga City." And probably the first true City State in the Modern or Post Modern Era of humanity.

To paraphrase the Chinese Premier "CCP statistics are man made and unreliable"🤫

Pyinyang is a rubbish city

How is Johannesburg a mega city it only has a population of 6 million including its metropolitan area. Unless you want it to be a mega city which will never happen in this life.

I like the idea of density. Not mega cities. Honestly, 300 million is way way too much. New York is one thing and I love New York. But that? Meh.

When you announced the Portland, OR, USA was in the running for your City of the Year I nearly bent over laughing. Comedy Gold. I guess having permanent underworld of leftist thugs continually rioting and endless open air drug markets/tent cities with STDs, murder and ODs is some factor in your "Best City" equation. I guess the No-Go-Zones, car arsons and racist riots keep Paris in the running. I can't wait to see who wins your coveted Shitti Award.

Coruscant is an example of an Ecumenopolis. The Ecumenopolis (World city) is a concept where all the cities in the world expand enough to combine into one single, paving over every desert and tundra, the polar caps, and perhaps even the ocean. However, it's a good idea to minimize the environmental impacts through buildings with enclosed ecological systems - arcologies. As impressive as those mega-cities mentioned in the video are, combined they take less than 1% of Earth's surface area. In the case of an ecumenopolis, it could comfortably house a trillion people while living at the density of rural regions today.

mumbai cannot be ever get bigger
it does not have space

0:27 It is not Jakarta. It is İstanbul. I understand because of buildings in right place which called Metropoll İstanbul.
Edit: 1:59 he said it Karachi but i think it is İstanbul too.
