Megacities is an international organization of government officials, community representatives, scientist, members of NGO’s, business people, and members of mass media who offer help solving city problems using alternative methods.
The project’s objective is to make cities more social, economical, and more appealing to live in. Since 1987, twenty-one of the largest cities of the world have had created special research groups working to gather ideas which would improve the standard of living in large cities.
A collection of small propositions, has allowed the project’s members to come up with extremely effective resolutions. The project treats every city as an individual laboratory, where they implement the best solution for the particular situation. It is a collective resolution, actively solved by the people who are directly involved.
Local organizations provide suggestions to solve the problems, and the citizens of the city can vote on how to implement what has been suggested. The organization then, uses their experience to perfect the theories, methods, and strategies.
