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

The proportion of the population living in cities in four Asian countries between 1970 and 2020 is depicted in the graph with anticipation for the next 20

years

.

Overall

, It is immediately apparent that the number of people living in urban areas in these countries increased sharply from the start of the period and will remain on

this

trend for the next 20

years

. Malaysia has witnessed more than double in the subject considered from 1970 until 2040 and will hit the highest peak among named regions. The

Philippines

initially

accommodated the highest percentage ( around 32%) of individuals in cities in 1970 and dramatically increased by 50% until 1990. The same trend occurred in Thailand at approximately two-thirds of that of the

Philippines

at the same time. Over 30 following

years

, they remained near these numbers by 2020 before they were predicted to grow substantially by nearly 50% and 45%, respectively, in the

Philippines

and Thailand.

Although

Dwellers in Indonesia showed less interest in urban regions in 1970 than in other countries, with only under 15% of them living in

such

areas, their proportion began to rise to just over 50% by 2020 and has exceeded the

Philippines

and Thailand.

This

shift is predicted to remain until 2040 and will hit its peak at around 60%. Despite the first 20

years

, the percentage of people residing in cities in Malaysia has always been above that of the others. They comprised just 30%.

However

, they have hit a peak of over 70% by 2020 and are anticipated to jump significantly to around 80% by 2040.
