The graphs below provide information on global population figures and figures for urban populations in different world regions. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The line graph displays the world

population

growth from 1800 to 2100. The bar graph shows the projected change in numbers for the urban

population

in the developed and developing

areas

of the world between 2015 and 2040.

Overall

, the

population

figures are projected to increase significantly on a global scale starting at 1800.

While

the developed regions are predicted to have constant numbers for their urban residents between 2015 and 2040, the developing ones would see an impactful rise. The number of humans inhabiting the planet increased steadily year on year starting at 1000

million

in 1800 to nearly 2500

million

in 1950.

This

is expected to rise dramatically in the next few years peaking at approximately 8000

in 2040.
