Indeed if mega-cities were a good thing then Pakistan, Nigeria and the Congo should be doing better than Japan.

If universal healthcare was a good thing then people in Rwanda should be more healthy than in the US. They aren't, so universal healthcare is bad.

Find the flaw in this argument and you'll find the one in yours.

41/58 countries with universal healthcare are in the developed world.

84/100 mega-cites are in the third world.

I don't know how this could confuse you but feel free to google inductive reasoning.
