MEEkah

MEEkah is a fictional megacity and setting used in science fiction, urban design discourse, and worldbuilding. It commonly appears as a case study for rapid urban growth, governance, and cultural exchange, rather than as a fixed locale with a single canonical history.

The etymology and origin of the name are not tied to a single language or culture. MEEkah is a constructed term designed to evoke notions of convergence and centrality, and it has appeared in various texts and media since the late 20th or early 21st century in different narratives. There is no authoritative origin story shared across all versions.

In many portrayals, MEEkah sits on a coastal inlet or river delta and features a dense urban core surrounded by satellite districts. The city often includes layered transit networks, such as underground rapid transit, elevated maglev or tram systems, and autonomous bus corridors, with an emphasis on accessibility, redundancy, and climate resilience.

Its economy is typically diversified, combining finance, technology, logistics, education, and research institutions. Governance descriptions vary by author, but common elements include a multi-tier city-regional framework, participatory budgeting experiments, and data-driven urban planning designed to adapt to changing demographics and environmental conditions.

Culturally, MEEkah is depicted as a cosmopolitan hub with diverse neighborhoods, public spaces, markets, and festivals that reflect a wide range of traditions. The concept is frequently used to explore themes of inclusion, affordable housing, governance innovation, and environmental adaptation, while remaining adaptable to different narrative contexts.
