The line graph illustrates the changes in the number of urban and rural residents in more and less developed regions from 1950 to 2050.
Overall, urban populations have been increasing steadily in both developed and developing regions, while rural populations have either stabilized or declined.
In more developed regions, the urban population saw a continuous increase from 300 million in 1950 to 1300 million in 2050, reflecting significant growth in urban areas. Conversely, rural populations in these regions remained relatively steady at 300 million until 1990, after which they gradually fell to 200 million by 2050, indicating a shift away from rural areas.
In less developed regions, the number of urban residents surged from 300 million in 1950 to 5200 million in 2050, reflecting rapid urbanization. In contrast, the rural population in these regions experienced a more gradual increase, peaking at 2500 million in 2030 before slightly dropping to 2300 million in 2050, showing a more modest growth rate compared to urban areas.
