Interesting concept. I believe we're both chasing the same symptoms but with different views. I personally see megacities as unhealthy. They are basically new creations of the Industrial Revolution. We seem to think of them as solid concepts but at the end of the day, IMOHO, there really hasn't been anything good come from them. Inevitably the only outcomes seem to be ghettos and centralized power.
Like you, I see value in the village approach (smaller bodies more closely connected to the people). Which was the indirect benefit of what I offered with my solution. As mine forces growth outwards instead of White flight and ghettos contained by corruption at the top.
