The provided line graph illustrates data on the growth of global population over a period of 300 years, starting from 1800 to 2100 while the given bar chart compares and contrast number of urbanities in developing and developed areas during 25 years between 2015 and 2040.
A glance at the line graph reveals that the world population is expected to experience an upward trend till 2040 before decreasing till the end of the period. Meanwhile, the figure of urban citizens in developing areas is forecasted to increase while that of developed countries will displace stability.
The line graph vividly illustrates that in 1800, the global population stood at 1,000 million, which then experienced a modest increase to approximately 2,000 million by 1920. Subsequently, this figure surged dramatically, reaching a peak of just over 8,000 million by 2040. Looking ahead, projections suggest a decline to slightly above 6,000 million by 2100, representing a sixfold increase from the initial figure at the start of the period.
The accompanying bar graph demonstrates that cities in developing countries are expected to experience the most significant growth in urban populations over the next 25 years. At the start of the period, urban areas in developing countries were home to over 2,000 million people, roughly double the population of their developed counterparts. By the end of the period, this number is anticipated to climb to 4,000 million, nearly twice the initial figure and three times that of urban populations in developed countries. In contrast, the urban population in developed nations is projected to remain stable at around 1.3 billion by the end of the period.
