will Tokyo 2025 catch the 40 million inhabitans line !?:nuts:

And will Cities like Delhi ,mumbai , or Manila catch the 30 million mark.

And was is with smaller Megacities like New York , Los angeles or Sao Paulo will they catch the 25 million line?

My stats

TOKYO : will grow dynamic from yet 33,4 million inh. to 35 Million in 2013 and to 39 million in 2022 and than in 2025 it can catch the 40 milllion line :nuts: !

DELHI : it will catch the 25 milllion in 2018 and in 2025 it can catch the 30 million line

Mimbai : the some at above ^^^^

^NEW YORK CITY it will catch the 25 million in 2025 sure, by NYC in city bordors will have around 10 milllion people

For Sao Paulo and LA its the same^^^^

What are youre thinkings about ths city prognoses !

What are youre thinkings about ths city prognoses !

....:lol:

With the current demographic trends of Japan, I sincerely doubt that Tokyo can reach 40 millions by 2025...
and I wonder where you have found out these ridiculous prognoses..

Rural Japan is depopulating; people are fleeing to the major cities. Even though Japan's population is no longer rising nationwide, the Tokyo area is still growing.

whatever happens Tokyo's population will remain larger than Canadas population :(

40 million in Tokyo... that's about 20 million Japanese females... that's roughly 10 million hotties... OMG - I love japan! :D

ah. now that is a statment i like to hear

i highly doubt that any of the cities listed above will reach any of those population marks by 2025

The NYC metro area already has 21.9 million people... 25 million isn't impossible.

I think Shanghai might reach 40 million before Tokyo considering that the population in Shanghai increases with 1-3 million per year - I've even heard numbers of 5 million per year as well.

If one uses the CMSA definition in the population count of Greater Tokyo then it already has passed the 40 million mark.

Btw, it is indeed true that Tokyo will still continue to grow 'til 2015 despite the whole of Japan beginning to experiencing a declining population because many residents of rural Japan are migrating to the big cities.

In another note, Shanghai may surpass Greater Tokyo population-wise in the very near future. It is indeed true that Shanghai receives hordes of rural migrants into its municipal territorial boundaries (in the millions) every year. At this rate, and at an increasingly faster rate in terms of raw number at that (because of the massive migration revolution within Mainland China where 400 million people are set to take part in), Shanghai will have nearly 50 million. Given the contruction boom in Shanghai and other cities in the Yangtze River Delta Region (namely: Wuxi, Suzhou, Ningbo, Nanjing, and Hangzhou), built-up areas, aided by the skyrocketing population, will merge and likely form the Shanghai Megalopolis (Chinese counterpart of Greater Tokyo).

Greater Tokyo's economic and financial influence in the East Asia region will still be intact but it'll stagnate at some point while Shanghai Megalopolis will continue to grow until it gradually surpasses Greater Tokyo.

lol i love japan :lol:

But, if it becomes something like 40 million, then it's horizontal expansion will probably include some big neighboring cities, like Nagoya, which is really close to Osaka-Kobe-Kyoto and we could end with a 80million mega-city :nuts:



Still, if half of Japan is already a city - called Metropolitan Tokyo, why move there in the first place?
:hammer:

I dont think the worlds megacities will grow much more populationwise, at least not cities like Tokyo and New York. But they may get more dense and centralised.
