A megacity is technically defined as an urban area with a population of over 10 million people, characterized by significant density, rapid growth, and complex social, economic, and environmental challenges. These cities often encompass vast geographic areas and include a diverse mix of cultures, industries, and social strata, making them hubs of both opportunity and inequality.

​

In the context of Megacity Review, this definition mirrors the journal’s mission to capture the nuance and complexity of urban life. Just as a megacity is defined by its vast and diverse population, Megacity Review explores the multifaceted stories and experiences that arise within these sprawling urban environments. From the underrepresented voices navigating social, economic, and cultural intersections, to the visual art that reflects the grit and beauty of megacity life, the journal delves into the chaotic yet vibrant essence of the world’s largest cities. Through a carefully curated blend of literature and art, Megacity Review encapsulates the intricate layers of urban existence, offering readers a window into the dynamic, often overlooked realities of life in these global metropolises.
