Welcome to the Online Resources Page supporting Handbook of Megacities and Megacity-Regions.

Here, Instructors and Students can access additional resources associated with this title. 

By clicking the tab to the left, users can access Table 15.6 highlighting growth projections of the world's 200 largest cities under the three possible scenarios: SSP1, Sustainability (greatest wealth generation and distribution, quickest population stabilization, lowest carbon emissions); SSP2, Middle of the Road (largely an extension of current trends); SSP3, Fragmentation (deterioration of international and intra-national cooperation, larger population growth). 

On the road again: the geography and characteristics of American commuter megaregions. The first attachment from Chapter 13 (data master) contains full details of the megaregions in relation to their characteristics - including demographics and transport modes. The second (interregion flows) provides more detail on the number of commutes between the megaregions.

 

Exploring the importance of megacities and megacity-regions as one of the defining features of the 21st century, this Handbook provides a clear and comprehensive overview of current thinking and debates from leading scholars in the field. Highlighting major current challenges and dimensions of megaurbanization, chapters form a thematic focus on governance, planning, history, and environmental and social issues, supported by case studies from every continent.
