A city whose population and physical size are massive, not just in raw numbers but in density. The actual size can depend on the average city size of the setting, but for modern or Science Fiction settings, you can assume that the number of citizens goes into the hundreds of millions or even billions. Depending on the setting you can expect to see a lot of tall buildings, endless suburbs and futuristic ways to get around. If you are lucky to get an author who is good at worldbuilding, they may have even thought of how the megacity handles challenges with providing food and water for all the inhabitants as well as the environment (human waste, garbage and pollution) so many people naturally generate. If you are unlucky however, the author may depict unrealistic situations, like the heroes finding themselves alone in public at times and places where that should be impossible given the population density. The Mega City will probably be the capital or Hub City, and if it's not a Merchant City, there'll definitely be a Bazaar of the Bizarre, where everything legal and illegal is available, if you know where to look and who to ask. Mega City is Super-Trope to City Planet, where a futuristic city encompasses the entire planet; Skyscraper City, where the city has grown very tall (may or may not overlap with Layered Metropolis); and Hive City, where the city's growth has become dense and layered enough to transform it into a near-solid mass of architecture. |

Ward: The unnamed city of Earth Gimel, where most of the story takes place, is a megalopolis stretching roughly from what would be New York City in Earth Bet to Boston, but slightly offset to the northeast due to the oldest Earth Bet portal being located where Brockton Bay would be. | |

Doctor Who Magazine: The Betrothal of Sontar shows that the planet Sontar has continents covered by cities. In "Mancopolis", the eponymous 25th century version of Manchester occupies 500 square miles (slightly larger than present day Greater Manchester, which is not a fully urbanised area) crammed full of skyscrapers linked by walkways, and tall enough to be visible from the wastelands of The Midlands. |

SimCity: One of the ultimate goals in the games is to reach as high a population as possible. In the original game, reaching a population of 100,000 would upgrade your city into a Metropolis. Reaching 500,000 citizens meant that your city be classified as a Megalopolis. | |

Discworld: While Ankh-Morpork only has a million inhabitants, it is still the biggest city in the setting. In The Fifth Elephant, Carrot points out that it's actually the largest dwarf city, having more dwarfs than any purely dwarf city. (This isn't as far-fetched as it may seem — a Real Life example is the city of São Paulo, whose Italian community is larger than any city in Italy itself.) | |

Schlock Mercenary: Most of Earth's population lives in such megacities, averaging out at populations of three to five billion each, made of clusters of arcologies. Despite a planetary population of nearly 200 billion in the opening days of the thirty-first century, extensive use of such high towers means that they only take up about 10% of the Earth's surface. | |

Cyberpunk: One of the main locations is Night City, a massive, William Gibson-style Mega-City in California founded by Richard Night, a businessman who wanted to create the ideal city. It came pretty close to actually meeting that goal, but after Night was assassinated by a criminal gang, it steadily became an overpopulated Vice City. By the time of the video game, its regarded as one of the worst places in the United States to live. | |

The History of the Galaxy: Earth cities are mentioned to have become these with populations of major cities approaching twenty billion each. That's nearly triple the population of the entire world today in a single city. This is the main reason why President John Winston Hammer of the Earth Alliance sends a fleet to force the recently-discovered Lost Colonies into submission, so as to offload the extra population. By the time of the later novels, most of the population has moved to new colonies or died in the First Galactic War (the 30-year war with the colonies, which Earth ultimately loses) with only about 100 million people left on Earth. Most urban areas, now abandoned, are covered by lush jungles, and many surviving landmarks have been moved to other areas for preservation. After the war, the colonies emerge as the industrial, economic, and scientific power in human space, forming the Confederacy of Suns for mutual protection (Earth isn't included). | |

Warhammer 40,000: Many Imperial worlds are dominated by "hive cities", mountains of metal housing millions (if not billions) of inhabitants and dependent on imported food and water from neighboring Agri Worlds. They tend to be highly stratified societies, with the administrators and wealthiest citizens living comfortably in the Spire, while gangs, mutants, and worse struggle to survive in the dark and decaying Underhive. Many of the Imperium's officially-designated City Planets aren't actually covered entirely by urbanization, but are rather dotted with hive cities separated by the resulting Polluted Wastelands. | |

Judge Dredd: The world is divided into these kinds of cities. Much of the world outside the Mega Cities was destroyed in the Atomic War of 2070, leaving the metropoles as the last centers of advanced civilization due to their missile shields having withstood the worst nuclear attacks. Dredd's home city of Mega City One grew from BosWash until it covered the entire eastern seaboard. In fact, the whole point of the Apocalypse War arc was to trim its sheer size down, as it had become too big. | |

Halo 2 and Halo 3: ODST's supplemental materials establish that the African port city of Mombasa experienced a massive period of growth and prosperity after a Space Elevator was constructed there in 2302. By the time the games begin in 2552, the municipal sprawl of "New Mombasa" has grown to encompass everything within a 74-kilometer radius of the original city. Halo 2 features several levels set in the city as it's invaded by aliens, while ODST is set entirely within it, following a squad of ordinary soldiers trying to escape the city after the battle is lost. | |

Blame!: The City is humongous. The tie-in art book says it's a growing Dyson Sphere the size of Jupiter's orbit. Tsutomu Nihei breathes this trope, hell, there's an artbook of his that consists solely of this. It's beautiful, and understandable coming from a guy who happened to study architecture several years. | |

In the Bounders series, most Earthlings live in gigantic cities hundreds of miles across, with names like East Americana and Amazonas. | |

Transmetropolitan: It's unclear where the City is or just how big it is, but some stories imply it to stretch from New York to the Great Lakes, and it's massive enough to be a deciding factor in elections. | |

The Caves of Steel: All of Earth's population lives in eight hundred arcologies known as "Cities". The average population of each City is eleven point two million. The governments of three large cities (New York, Philadelphia and Washington) are considering merging into one single Mega Mega City, but the logistics of maintaining and governing such a large conglomerate have so far prevented any action on the plan. | |

Transformers: In most series, Cybertron is about as large as the Earth, all the way up to the size of Saturn in some series. Despite this, most of its cities aren't just visible from orbit, they're so large they visibly alter the planet's silhouette. Population tends to be smaller than one might think, given that the average native is around 20-30 feet tall and the infrastructure is accordingly scaled up. | |
