The world’s largest megacity, with more people than Canada, Argentina, or Australia

“China’s Pearl River Delta is swallowing up nearby cities.  As the largest urban area in the world, the region features a population of roughly 42 million housed inside a 2,700-square-mile perimeter.  The Pearl River Delta is made up of nine cities, each boasting populations above 1 million. And China is combining them all into one giant megacity.  It’s bigger than Canada (pop: 35 million), Australia (pop: 23 million), and Argentina (pop: 41 million).  The PRD began as a rural region with an agriculture-based economy. Urbanization didn’t take off until the early 1990s, when factories and big business flocked to the region and brought with them millions of new residents.”
