| - Mega-City One was a giant metropolis of the late 21st and 22nd century.
- Mega-City One is a huge fictional city-state covering much of what is now the Eastern United States in the Judge Dredd comic book series and its spinoff series. The exact geography of the city depends on which writer and artist has done which story, but from its first appearance it has been associated with New York City's urban sprawl; originally it was presented as a future New York, which was retconned as the centre of a "Mega-City One" in the very next story. The Architects Journal placed it at No. 1 in their list of "comic book cities".
- The Architects Journal placed it at #1 in their list of "comic book cities".
- Established in 2032, Mega-City One was conceived as an answer to the massive overcrowding plaguing the cities of North America. Originally designed to house 350 million citizens, the population of Mega-City One soon swelled to an astounding 800 million people, a number that would remain constant until the city was devastated by the effects of the Atomic wars - the Great Atom War of 2070 and later the Apocalypse War of 2104, which reduced its population to 400 million people with living space for half that number. Due to a number of other disasters and crises that have affected the city, and immigration to Mega-City One, the population remained stable until 2134. Following the Day of Chaos, the city has been reduced to a devastated minor state.

Following the Day of Chaos, the city has been reduced to a devastated minor state. In the early 22nd century, it stretched roughly from southern Maine down through Florida, far into Ohio and/or West Virginia to the west, and to the Quebec City-Windsor Corridor in Canada in its north west. From 2104 onwards, it had been scaled back to roughly New Hampshire through North Carolina. (The Architects Journal placed it at No. 1 in their list of "comic book cities".)
- The Architects Journal placed it at #1 in their list of "comic book cities".
