Would a megacity of 50 million help the USA economically, socially, enviornmentally?

Basically, how big of a city would it be if you focused all 6+ billion people in the world into one urban area.

If the urban area was as dense as Paris, France, it would be the size of Louisiana, Mississippi and Arkansas combined.


If it was the density of New York, NY it would take up the state of Texas



And if the city has the density of Houston?

And if it had the density of Kowloon Walled City, then we all wouldn't need much more than the state of Delaware.

I agree with the poster that stated in aot of these Mega metros, there are huge swaths of the population living in abject poverty. If that were to occur here, we have to ensure that we can keep up a standard of living suitable for the majority of the population....Who knows, it could happen?
