The trend is projected to continue, reaching 85% by 2040. Similarly, Malaysia’s urban population increased rapidly from 35% in 1970 to 75% in 2020, with an expected rise to 85% by 2040.
On the other hand, Thailand and Indonesia exhibited lower rates of urbanization compared to the Philippines and Malaysia, but still demonstrated steady growth. Thailand’s urban population started at 15% in 1970 and reached 55% in 2020, with a projected increase to 75% by 2040.
