The table above indicates that São Paulo had the highest population from 1990 to 2000, with approximately 33 million residents. Jakarta was the second most populous city during this period, with a population of 27 million. In contrast, Shanghai had the lowest population between 1990 and 2000, totaling 26 million residents.
The projected population data for the year 2000, which was made in 1990, does not align with the actual figures. For São Paulo, the forecasted population was 24 million, whereas the real figure turned out to be 18 million. In Jakarta, the predicted population was 14 million, but the actual population was 17.5 million.
Conversely, the projected population for Shanghai was 17 million, while the actual population was 12.5 million.
