The graph below gives information about the percentages of the population in four Asian countries living in cities from 1970 to 2020, with predictions for 2030 and 2040.

The line graph illustrates the percentage of the population living in cities, namely the Philippines, Malaysia, Thailand, and Indonesia.

Moreover

, these data are recorded and predicted over the 70-year period from 1970 to 2040.

Overall

, each proportion of the city presents an upward trend during

this

period.

In addition

, Malaysia provides the highest rate;

conversely

, Thailand represents the lowest increase.

To begin

with, Malaysia accounted for 30% in the year 1970, gradually increased, and ultimately will constitute approximately 85% in 2040.

Subsequently

, Indonesia represented a slight increase

initially

(between 1970 and 2009).

However

, it began to surge and will roughly make up 65% in the year 2040. Looking at the Philippines in detail, it prevented a significant fluctuation between 30 and 50 per cent from 1910 to 2010.

Next,

it consistently rose and will comprise 55% eventually. As for Thailand, despite the fact that it provided an upward trend, it will represent the lowest proportion (45%) than that of other cities in 2040.
