the largest of which have swelled into giant urban agglomerations, sometimes called megacities—metropolitan areas with 10 million people or more (mapped on the globe below).
This report is an initial effort by LOICZ to bring together scientists from a range of coastal regions and academic disciplines to map out the state-of-the-art and future research frontiers in science for resilience and transformation in coastal megacities. It draws from a workshop held on 30...
000 and nine cities have both rates below 5/100,000. The overall homicide rates found in megalopolises are lower than the global mean of rates of homicides found for the countries as a whole, except in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and Karachi, Pakistan. The megacities present lower suicide rate...

The plan calls for 19 clusters(群集) in all, which would account for(占…比例) nine-tenths (十分之九) of economic activity (see map). China would, in effect, condense ( 凝结,浓缩) into a country of super-regions. Three are already well on track(上轨道/步入正轨): the Pearl River ...
China's rapid urbanization in parallel with its rapid economic growth over the past four decades has received worldwide attention. There is still a lack of comparative studies on the rates, forms, driving forces, as well as similarities and differences of urban expansion within and among Chinese...
The goal of this article is to reflect on the position of megacities in poorer countries in the world economy. For that purpose, I explore the geographies of a) stock markets, b) of the headquarters of the 'Fortune 500', and c) of the networks of producer service firms. The analysis ...

However, existing research on population change of the cities predominantly draws on grid statistical data at the administrative level, overlooking the intra-urban variegation of population change. Particularly, there is a lack of attention given to the spatio-temporal change of population across ...
