The bar chart illustrates population shifts in three different cities, namely Sao Paulo, Moscow and Dhaka from 1975 to 2035. Overall, continuous growth can be seen in all locations whereas significant increases are mostly seen in Sao Paulo and Dhaka.
Firstly, in 1975, Sao Paulo ranked as the most populous city of all with a figure nearly reaching 10 million people while Dhaka ranked as the least populated city with barely 2 million residents in total. In the next three decades, Dhaka marked a significant rise, with the population surging to roughly 12 million, while Sao Paulo almost doubling its initial population reaching approximately 18 million. The population of Moscow remained third in 2005, slightly surpassing 10 million, also experiencing steady growth.
Between 2005 and 2035, the population of Dhaka is projected to triple, rising above 30 million by the end of its term, followed by Sao Paulo which is forecast to increase by 30 percent, marking slightly above 24 million. Conversely, Moscow is expected to remain steady with a subtle increase between 1 to 2 million at maximum, with the total population reaching less than 13 million by the end of this period.
