Band 4+: The graph below gives information about the percentage of the population in four Asian countries living in cities from 1970 to 2020, with predictions for 2030 and 2040. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The line graph illustrates the percentage of urban population in four Asian countries from 1970 to 2020 and give the expectation for 2030 and 2040.

Overall, the number of people live in cities increased throughout the given period of time.

According to the graph, in 1970, indicates the lowest urban population when compared with other years and those were lied below the 40%.

Population percentage of Phillipine and Malayasia were fluctuated sharply from 1970 to 1990 and then Malasian urban population increased dramatically by getting above 70% in 2020. It was expected to be increased upto nearly 83% in 2040 which will be the highest population when compared to other three countries. Furthermore, people lived in cities of phillippines were decreased from 50% to just above 40% in 1990 to 2010 respectively. After that, it was increased slowly and predicted to be in nearly 55% in 2040. Starting from just below of 20%, the urban population in Thailand was increased slowly until 2020 and expected to be doubled in 2040 when compared to 1970. Indonesian urban population increased rapidly from 2000 to 2020 and expected to continue in that increment until 2040.

In summary, highest percentage of urban population expected in 2040 when compare to 1970.
