The presented bar chart provides the data about the number of the urban population in different parts of the world. The comparisons are made in percentages and reveal the information about 1950 and 2015 years. Moreover, there is an assumption about the approximate number of city residents in 2050.
It can be observed that only 29% of the world population were living in the cities in 1950. However, this number has significantly soared by 49% in 2010 and it will probably continue to rise by 60% in 2050. The amount of the urban population in Africa and Asia are roughly resemble. It is predicted that around half of all citizens will live in the agglomerations in 2050.
The appreciable 64 percent of people were accommodated in the cities in North America back to 1950. This part of the world is still considered as the most urbanized region in the world (79% in 2010). According to the bar chart, this amount will upsurge by 87% in the future. The same situation can be seen in Europe. Nevertheless, the number of the urban population in Latina America has doubled since 1950 and it has reached the 78 percent in 2010.
To conclude, the considerable increase of urbanization can be seen all around the world. This trend will only climb in the future.
