Introduction

This book, the first volume, highlights 8 out of a total of about 36 megacities in the World which by definition have 10 million inhabitants.

The cities/chapters presented in this book are based on recent advances such as the wide use of ICT, IOT, e-Governance, e-Democracy, smart economy and the flattening and acceleration of the world that is taking place in recent times as reported by 3 times Pulitzer Prize Winner Thomas Friedman.

It therefore departs from other ideologies where only a certain megacity qualifies for the title of smart global megacities while in reality every megacity can, and presents how smart global megacities can be created.
