The line graph illustrates the data on the proportion of population in four different countries in Asia living in urban areas from 1970 to 2020, including predictions for 2030 and 2040. Units are measured in percentages.
Overall, Malaysia remained dominant in the number of residents among all the countries, while Thailand had the lowest proportion. Additionally, the proportion of the population in Indonesia rose gradually, whereas the Philippines saw a fluctuation over the given period.
Between the period of 1970 and 2020, Malaysia experienced a significant increase, representing just over 70% living in cities. In 2040, it is expected to reach its peak at just under 90% urban living, which will make it the most popular among countries. In addition, Indonesia grew steadily from just over 10% to 50%, and is projected to climb to 60%.
Furthermore, from 1970 and 2010, the Philippines saw a slight variation, from 30% in 1970 to 40% in 2010, and is then projected to rise further to just over 50% in 2040. By the end of a period, Thailand recorded the lowest percentage of all the countries.
