Sounds easy enough..just merging them. China is quite ambitious with things these days, and they certainly have the money. I'd say it's definitely a good possibility.
I think they are also into having the biggest and the tallest and going in a linear direction to be on the economic top. So, wouldn't surprise me if they did either.
There's already a thread about this in the urban planning forum. Personally I can picture having to spend three hours in a traffic jam just to see a tree and working-class people living like this:
"Creating a mega-city" in this case hardly means anything else than building/improving commuter rail and other transportation infra between the PRD cities in question. This is not one of those cases where the Govt builds a city in the middle of nowhere, then realizes nobody wants to live there, and let the whole place lay dormant as a ghost town. The population in this case is already there.
And.. the Telegraph. Wish i could get a paper version of most of their articles, i'd love to use them to wipe my a**.

Yeah, it does sound fishy. I mean, with that logic anyone could connect close cities together officially on paper and call it a megacity.
Also, didn't what I bolded already happened/is happening in China?
Wow, I'd love to see that area. The largest I've seen so far are Dallas and Atlanta.
It looks fairly close to Thailand so maybe I will be able to sometime. I don't know if I'd want to live there for an extended period of time though.
I also agree the title is misleading, I was thinking something like building a bunch of massive skyscrapers on a scale not yet seen in the world and then relocating 42 million people. This place already looks like a massive urban area.

And California has more people than Canada, by the way.
