The given line graph demonstrates the cities’ populations proportions in four different nations which are USA, Korea, China, India. Over ̉60 years period, from 1970 to 2030.
Overall, as can be seen that the percentage of urban residents in all four countries show an upward trend. Notably, the USA consistently maintaining the highest figures throughout.
In 1970, around 70% of the US population lived in cities. This figure rose steadily to just below 90% by 2010 and is projected to reach 90% by 2030. A similar but more dramatic trend was seen in Korea, where the urban population started at 40%, surged to roughly 85% in 2010, and is expected to climb slightly to match the USA’s 90% by the end of the period.
Both China and India had relatively low urban populations of about 20% in 1970. While China’s figure remained unchanged until 1990, India’s rose gradually over the same period and is predicted to reach just under 40% by 2030. The proportion of urban dwellers in China began to rise sharply in the mid-1990s, surpassing India’s rate, and is forecast to end the period at over 65%.
