Since when is Pittsburgh a 10 mln + city???? It is about MEGACITIES!!!!
you have been pretty strict about this huh? lol but yeah it is annoying to see teeny cities being posted here

Yes, because the title of the thread is "endless buildup sea of megacities "!!! QAnd some people keep posting tiny cities where you can see the beginning as well as the end. Nothing against Pittsburgh, but it is not a megacity!!!

Btw, Runner up :the Mexico city aerial pic in post 85!!!

deadly pics from tokyo.thats wat i like with it.it makes me feel corpus of great human civilization or just such a graet urbanity.
those chiba,yokohama are one of cities in metro of tokyo.but still,they are at distance from tokyo where cant even see them from aerial pic of tokyo.city of tokyo alone is that great alrady as that aerial pic shows..wat if you include those more other cities in metro..that shows greatest urban area in the world.but maybe someday,chinese cities wil beat it.no1 can beat chinas population power

^^yep, here it is:

Great thread, love all the good pictures I have seen here..

^^ Amazing thread indeed

to be honest, LA is more of a mega village :) suburbs... suburbs... suburbs....

Here is Moscow 2008. It have been posted in separate thread, but any way... here it is...
1/3 of Russian capital :)

^^ nice picture..but I would hardly call the L.A. area as suburbs, suburbs, suburbs...with a population of 18,000,000...it is FAR from that. It is one continues urban environment.

Moscow is a huge city...

How about this one showing only Asian side of İstanbul which is less than 1/3 of the whole actual city

http://www.hizliresim.com/2008/12/4/3460.jpg

It is a awesome aerial pic :)

Tks Christos.I find that Asian side of İstanbul has similar sprawl like Athens(where I have ben twice and loved it).I have found this also showing a part of European part on the right but not completely!

Ok,everyone posts ''bird's eye'' view of megacities.As I posted it in the Turkish forum,here is a real ''bird eye'' view of İstanbul.İt can't be a better ''bird eye view''!!!

http://www.hizliresim.com/2008/12/7/6859.jpg

:lol: ^^

That pic is really awesome!

That old New York city is very nice!:):)

Another thing is that when we talk about a ''megacity'',I think we make a mistake.We should not talk about ''metro area'' because in most cases,metro areas are rural and do not belong to actual core of those cities.Yo can have a 20 million in metro,but the city itself may have only 8-9 million and it could be small depending on its density!whereas a city of 5 million could be larger than a city of 10 million!

All depends on size and density/ sqkm.İt is the size of the city itself,not the whole metro area where you go for 300 kms with small to large villages in between.Population does not always count unless it is an ''uninterruptedly'' urbanised.

İn this sense,Berlin ,Athens,Madrid,Ankara and some American cities are megacities.

the central part of Tel Aviv - Yaffo metro
(3.5million-5+million or more, depends where you put the limit of the endless urban sprawl
10 million live up to 1 hour drive distance from the city.)

Thanks for the comment btw :)

I think Athens has more than 10.000 people per sqkm on average.Ok may be populationwise,it may not be a''megacity'' but city itself is ''mega'' in its actual core!
