The graph below gives information about the percentage of the population in four Asian countries living in cities from 1970 to 2020, with prediction for 2030 and 2040.
The line graphs above illustrate the proportion of the population in the Philippines, Malaysia, Thailand , and Indonesia that live in urban areas from 1970 to 2020, with forecast percentages for 2030 and 2040.
Overall
, there was an upward trend in all four countries.
Looking in more detail, the largest percentage change belonged to Malaysia, 30% of the total population in 1970 and constantly rising to roughly 70% of the total population living in cities. A further
increase in this
figure is predicted until it peaks at approximately 80% in 2024. Likewise
, a similar direction was shown in Indonesia, with the data gradually increasing over 50 years from nearly 15% in 1970 to just above 50% in 2020 with a predicted rise in 2030 and 2040.
On the other hand
, the Philippines experienced a slight fluctuation between 1970 and 2020, with a constant decrease in the portion of people accommodated in urban cities from 1990 to 2010. Nevertheless
, the direction is still maintained as the number increased after 2010 and is expected to grow further
in 2030 and 2040. In the case of Thailand, the figure stayed relatively stable between the period of 1990 to 2020, but it returned to an upward movement in 2020.Submitted by trinhbakhanhlinh on
