The bar chart represents statistical data about the percentage of the population living in various cities in different parts of the world. From an overall perspective, we can observe the information about six parts of the world in three years.
Firstly, it is noticeable that in all periods of time the percentage is increasing. In Africa, Asia, and Oceania final results in 2050 are lower than in three other areas. For example, in Africa, in 1950, only 18% of population lived in urban areas, while in 2050 the number will be exactly 60%. In Asia situation is similar, because in 1950 just 28% lived in cities, in 2050 this number should be around 65%. In Oceania the percentage in all three years is close, in 1950 it was 60 and in 2050 it will be close to 80%.
Secondly, we can mention that in Europe, Latin America, and North America the percentage from the forecast is higher than 80%. For instance, in Europe it is rising from 50% in 1950 to 70% in 2007, and to 83% in 2050. In Latin and North America the information is similar. In 2007 they both have approximately 80% of citizens, living in cities, and in 2050 close to 90%. However, the number of people from urban areas was completely different, in Latin America 40%, while North America had 60%.
