The bar chart below gives information about the percentage of the population living in urban areas in different parts of the world.

The graph illustrates information about the percentages of the

population

living in urban areas that differed between six continents (Africa, Europe, etc.) in the years 1950–2050.

Overall

, the changes in percentages of

population

in urban areas have distinct rates from each other. It is crystal clear that the lowest rate of

population

in 1950 was observed in Africa,

whereas

the highest level of

population

was seen in North America in the same year.

Similarly

, the highest and lowest levels belonged to the same continents in 2007. Taking a closer look at the bar graph, the percentage of the African

population

in urban areas was only 15% in 1950 and doubled in 2007.

Moreover

, the

population

is forecast to rise to 60% in 2050.

On the other hand

four times higher than in Africa.

, respectively, by 25% and 35% from 1950 to 2007.
