In the article similarities and differences of such concepts as macro-system and mega-project are analyzed. A conclusion is made that megaprojects can be regarded as a variety of macro-systems, i.e. systems that consist of a multitude of interconnected sub-systems and it is often possible to evaluate macro-systems' functioning by the same criteria as in case of mega-projects, i.e. social efficiency.
