China Plans to Create Super-City With 42 Million Residents

Aiming to merge most of their manufacturing heartland into one united municipality, China plans to combine 9 cities into one.  The sprawling super-city will be 26 times the size of Greater London, twice the size of Wales, house 42 million people and will account for 10% of China's economy.

This enormous urbanization project is only one of several the Chinese government has in the works, some of which are plans to create urban areas with 50 to 100 million people in residence.
