By looking at the line graph, we can see the actual and predictive amount of people living in cities in four different countries in Asia from 1970 to 2040 Refer to the information given, at the beginning of 1970, the Philippines had the highest
percentage
of the population living in cities, with the statistics of Malaysia slightly less than the first one,
while
Indonesia had only 15% of the
percentage
of the total population, becoming the lowest result among the four.
However
, as time went by, there was a significant growth in the
percentage
of Indonesia from nearly 15% to 40% within 40 years, which was the moment the statistics of Thailand was at the approximately same
percentage
level as that of Indonesia. As for the prediction for the following 20 years, the study likely conveys the idea that Malaysia will have a dramatic increase to
finally
reach a new high level of data, and at that time, people living in cities account for 45% of the total population in Thailand, comparing to 1970, has a relatively small growth

the graph.
