The article analyzes the current trends in urban development systems. As a result of identifying the main problems of urban development, groups of issues were formed, in particular, economic, social, environmental, social, psychological and technological aspects. Each of these blocks significantly affects the comfortable living of the population of large cities, as well as affects the sustainable development of territories. Problems of overpopulation, which create new socio-economic challenges and increase man-made impact on ecosystems, are the main problems of development of areas that have become the cause of other problematic aspects. The article analyzes the demographic processes of different regions of the world and their impact on the formation of megacities. It is determined that the largest cities in the world are formed in countries with the largest population and high population density. An analysis of the largest cities in the world by population, location and population density is given. according to the conducted analysis the preconditions defining tendencies of development of megacities are formed. In accordance with these prerequisites, a projection of the development of megacities by regions of the world depending on the current situation, factors influencing the development of urban systems and analysts' forecasts. According to these forecasts, urban trends in different regions of the world are analyzed. The map of the largest megacities of the world on the basis of which their territorial zoning is carried out is presented. The results of the study can be used to determine the prospects for the development of urban systems, finding ways for further urban development in the face of new challenges.
