Tokyo, however, lies in a nodal direction from the megathrust source, so small GF anomalies may be expected there, although the influence of the directivity effect due to rupture propagation is strongest among all megacity cases.
These megacities — with all the traffic, overcrowding and unsanitary conditions that accompany them — are the perfect breeding ground for NCDs.
But Los Angeles isn't just for film fanatics; this megacity has it all.
Also Andrew Marr's 'Megacities' – I know all the cities he is filming in, and the new slants he finds on them are very engaging.
The indicator set is designed for gathering information on the definition (spatial boundaries, constituent cities, population, economy), biophysical characteristics (climate, population density, building floor area), and metabolic flows (water, waste, materials, and all types of energy) of megacities.
Of all the dysfunctions that plague the world's megacities, none may be more pernicious than bad (really, really bad) traffic.
The city-born children of migrants suffer the same discrimination, often being denied access to urban state-run schools and having to clear higher hurdles to get into university.The hukou divide is sharpest of all in China's "first-tier" megacities, which are among the biggest magnets for migrants.
In their study, the team analysed a dataset from 274 cities from 60 countries, including all of the world's 21 megacities (urban areas with more than 10 million inhabitants).
If we don't act quickly, all we need to do is visit China's megacities to glimpse our future.
Locally relevant improvements have to be defined without the one-size-fits-all assumptions of competition: dedicated bike lanes are not an issue in sprawling megacities or towns built on steep hills.
