This is interesting analysis. Many good points. Regarding this comment: "first mega city on the planet": As I understand, in the modern era, Beijing was the first city in the world to have one million people.

Mega cities are 10M+, NYC was the first metropolitan area to cross this milestone and Tokyo the first city proper.
