The Cube City Nr 4 represents morphologically a satellite city or rather the phenomenon that in urban planning is called conurbation: the cities near the great city are designed to decentralize the services and to decongest the great city in a prospective of expansion till to reach megaregions.
In the time the great city and the nearby ones they unite untill to lost completely their urban connotations and the configuration of many cities becoming a unique city called megacity.
All these small cities around the great city represent their satellites and are correlated the great city.
The small cities grow so according to their own urban plans and/or proceeding along the direction of expansion suggested from the great city.
It seems to live in a neighbourhood of a city but in reality you live in a city that it is part of a megaregion.
We have many megacities. I have choosen as examples four of these.
The first city is Biddhannagar, it was born to decongest the city of Kolkata in India. This city distinguishes itself for its plant more different from the plant of Kolkata and it is developed in such a way more regular in comparison with the city of Kolkata.
The second city is Parramatta, it was born to decongest Sydney in Australia. The city is almost completely conurbated to Sydney so much to not recognize itself from the great city and it was born to decentralize some services.
The third city is Tamesna, it is designed to decongest Rabat in Morocco. This city, enough recent, is in development path, it is far away from Rabat and we will see in the time as it will relate to the great city.
The fourth city is Yokohama, it is designed to decongest Tokyo in Japan. Also this city almost is completely conurbated to Tokyo so to not recognize the boundaries.
In information technology it exists a similarity with the tree networks, the structure and the topology of these net are like to a hierarchy of a great city with small city in megaregion.
