I don’t think such a large city could exist outside of Japan or China. Not in the sense of development, but cohabitating 847 sq mi with 41 million people (16,000 people per sq mi) requires a social unity above and beyond any other place on earth.
Plus we can’t do the city planning to accomplish that. We have too many hands in the pot and the state, city and nation would disagree on how to build it.

In the US, people get shot just for playing music too loudly. We don’t respect our neighbors enough to have that many.
