The given line chart illustrates the proportion of urban residents in four different countries between 1970 and 2030.
Overall, the figure for all four nations will show an upward trend during the surveyed period. Additionally, it is expected that the USA will consistently maintain the highest rate throughout the timeframe.
Starting at around 70% and 40% in 1970, the percentage of population living in cities in both the USA and Korea is predicted to rise sharply over six decades. Particularly, anticipations reveal that the figure for Korea will experience a significant growth, catching up with the USA, with both countries’ urban populations reaching nearly 90% by 2030.
Meanwhile, the proportion of urban inhabitants in both China and India stayed stable at around 20% during the first ten years. However, from 1980 onwards, while the data for China is forecast to increase remarkably, reaching approximately 65% by 2030, it is predicted that the rate for India will climb moderately to under 40% by the end of the period.
