- Abstract
This article focuses on the effect of global change on megacities. Examples of megacities include Bangalore, Bogotá, Delhi, Istanbul, Jakarta, Karachi, Manila, Mumbai and Dhaka. These cities are subject to global ecological, socio-economic and political change as well as local and regional processes. The huge demand of megacities for energy, food, industrial production, services, construction, infrastructure and maintenance causes local and global ecological impacts.
