Chengdu, China, projected 2050 population: 10.6 million

Chengdu is the second Chinese location forecasted to reach megacity status by 2050, and has the same current population as Nanjing at 9.4 million. Capital of the Sichuan province, it’s a major player in western China for transportation, finance and communications, and has seen rapid economic growth over the last decade. The city has actively encouraged rural-to-urban migration, bringing in workers for Chengdu’s major industries including electronics, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, foodstuffs and light textiles.
