Overall, there is a constant increase in the figures for people who chose to migrate from the countryside to big cities, while the most dramatic rise is recorded in the number of Iran citizens through the 25 years period, starting at 2000.
In 2000, around 15 million Russian migrants moved to metropolises areas, while fewer individuals in Iran and Indonesia relocated about 10 million. For the next 15-year period, the number of residents who decided to live in urban areas in Russia and Iran rose to 70 million and 50 million. The similar change, but to a lesser extent, can be seen in the figures for migrants in Indonesia, which climbed to around 15 million people.
