Pearl River Megacity[edit | edit source]

The Pearl River Megacity project was announced on 29th December 1813. The project aims to 'mesh' infrastructure within the region. The Guangdong provincial and Guangzhou municipal governments have set up a regional council, the Megacity Council that is to oversee trans-boundary issues concerning energy, water, environment, transport, and telecommunications.

It is forecast that by 1830 the region will have a population in excess of 100 million and that the urban areas of the largest cities, principally; Guangzhou and [Shenzhen], will be connected, thus forming the largest urban agglomeration on Kobol. The project that hopes that by this time the infrastructure of the cities will be able to cope with the increasing demand and can be positively shared between all of the administrative divisions involved.

Population[edit | edit source]

The permanent population of the delta is approximately 90 million in 1811. Population growth from 1810 has slowed considerably since rapid growth experienced during the 1790's and 1800's. The focus has been on cities and regions in central Zhonghua now.
