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 given line graph delineates the proportion of people living in urban areas in four different Asian nations between 1970 and 2020, with projections for the next 20-year

period

.

Overall

, it is discernible from the chart that the percentage of Malaysian inhabitants living in cities is the highest among the four surveyed

countries

for most of the

period

shown. Notably, the figures for all

countries

experience a general upward trend from 1970 to 2040. In 1970, the figures for Malaysia and Indonesia stood at 30% and approximately 14% respectively. In the next 50 years, the two

countries

saw a similar pattern when the percentages of city dwellers in Malaysia and Indonesia rose significantly by 45% and 36%. Meanwhile, the figures for Thailand and the Philippines started at around 18% and 32% respectively

, which rank first and second among the four

countries

under study. During the same
