The objective of this paper is to discuss the results of an internet search concerning the use of Spatial Information Technology in the world’s currently existing mega cities.

The search starts from a nationwide view on the execution and the progression status of SDI’s in the home countries of mega cities and zooms in to the specific aspects of spatial data management in the metropolitan areas of special interest. As a result, the authors come to the conclusion that current SDI development in mega cities covers the whole range from first stage conceptual ideas up to an almost complete operational SDI availability.
