The bar chart represents statistical data about the percentage of the populace residing in various cities in diverse areas of our planet. From an overall perspective, it is noticeable that in all periods of time the percentage is increasing, and the most significant jumps were observed in Latin America and Africa, while the least in Oceania.
Firstly, in Africa, Asia, and Oceania, final results in 2050 are lower than three remaining areas. For example, in Africa, in 1950, only 18% of the population lived in urban areas, while in 2050 the number will be exactly 60%. In Asia the situation is similar, because in 1950 just 28% lived in cities, while in 2050 this number should be approximately 65%. In Oceania, the percentages in all three years are similar, and 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 data is similar. In 2007, they both had approximately 80% of citizens living in cities, and in 2050 close to 90%. Conversely, the urban demographic differed substantially, with Latin America at 40% and North America at 60%, respectively.
