The graph illustrates the growth in the percentage of the urban population in

four

Asian countries (the

Philippines

,

Malaysia

,

Thailand

and

Indonesia

) from 1970 to 2020, with projections for 2030 and 2040.

Additionally

, the graph shows that the

Philippines

and

Malaysia

began with a higher percentage of people in cities in 1970 compared to those in

Thailand

and

Indonesia

.

Overall

, the percentage of people in towns grew the most between 1970 and 2020 in

Malaysia

as compared to that in

Thailand

, which saw the least proportion of growth.

On the other hand

, the urban populations in the

Philippines

and

Indonesia

did not grow as much as in

Malaysia

.

Additionally

, in the years 2030 and 2040, all

four

nations will see a rise in their urban populations All

four

countries are expected to grow with the same trend that they experienced until 2020. In terms of city dwellers in

Malaysia

, they grew by around 58% to reach 78% in 2020, in comparison to 50%, 45% and 30% in

Indonesia

, the

Philippines

and

Thailand

respectively. The projected population rise for the years 2030 and 2040 , for

Indonesia

is around 55% to 58%. For

Thailand

, the gain is 33% to 44 % . But for the

Philippines

, there is only a marginal increase which is 48 % to 50 %. For

Malaysia

, the gain is 72 % to 85 %. So, the increase in population is found in all
