The map and line graph illustrate the growth in the physical size and population of the Egyptian city of Alexandria between 1840 and 1980.
Overall, both the growth of the city and population expanded and increased sharply. The expansion of the city of Alexandria only broadened in the Mediterranean Sea and Lake Marriout in 1900, while the population rose strongly after 1960.
Looking at the first image, the map shows the growth of the city of Alexandria from 1840 to 1980. In 1840, the acreage only reached 4 square kilometers in the coastal area and expanded minimally in 1900. In 1960 and 1980, the growth of the city extended gradually between the Mediterranean Sea and Lake Marriout along the coast, reaching at about 100 square kilometers in 1980.
The line graph shows the population growth from 1840 and 1980. From 1840 to 1880, the proportion of population increased slowly, under 0.2 millions. However, from after 1880 to 1960, the population rose slightly, about 1.8 millions. After that, after 1960, the population increased sharply, reaching more than 3 millions in 1980.
In conclusion, the growth in the physical size and population of the Egyptian city of Alexandria may change more in the future.
