Megastructures are usually only visions or science fiction due to their enormous proportions. A megastructure should have at least one dimension that is several hundred kilometers. Popularized in the 1960's, megastructures also including the concept of an encased city within a single building, often referred to as a hyperstructure.
There are only a few structures built that are considered megastructures:
- Great Wall of China
- Rice Terraces of the Philippine Cordilleras.
Roads or railways are not usually considered megastructures because of their relative simplicity.
