Guangzhou (pop. 11.1 million) and Foshan (pop. 7.2 million) make up one metropolitan area of 18.2 million people. This is up 4.4 million from 2000. The neighboring cities of Dongguan and Zhongshan are clearly separate cities.
There is talk of merging all of the cities in the Pearl River Delta into one mega-city of 50 million plus people. Other reports deny this. However, both agree that there are plans to make 3 mega-cities in Guangdong: Guangfozhao (Guangzhou, Foshan and Zhaoqing),
Shenguanhui (Shenzhen, Dongguan and Huizhou) and Zhuzhongjiang (Zhuhai,
Zhongshan and Jiangmen).
