Why the World s Megacities Are All in the Same Places — The Geography of 10 Million People

Why Megacities Are Never an Accident
In 1950, there were only two megacities on Earth: New York and Tokyo. Today, there are 34—and when you look at a map, their locations are not a coincidence.

Almost every megacity sits at one of four specific geographic intersections, such as a navigable river meeting the coast or the center of a massive agricultural hinterland. Cities like Shanghai, Delhi, and Lagos didn't choose their locations randomly; geography chose them. In this episode of Where on Earth, we reveal the hidden geography behind the world’s largest population centers and why 10 million people always end up in the exact same kinds of places.
