  • The general trend is that of increasing city size parallel to the increase in population and migration from the rural areas to the urban in developing nations. Although the earth's carrying capacity will long be exhausted before people manage to fill the world full of skyscrapers, cities are bound to become larger first before they are likely to shrink via colonization of space or family planning. Megacities are this intermediate. They are likey to result from the merger of several close metropolises (extremely large cities) such as those on the United State's Atlantic Seaboard.
