The provided bar graph illustrates the urban population distribution in five different continents in 1950 and 2007 and projects this distribution for the year 2030. Overall, people in the urban area increased as the year advanced and more people will live in the city areas in the future.
As is observed from the given illustration, in 1950 less than one third of the world population lived in the city whereas this number increased to nearly 50% in 2007. City population is expected to reach 60% in 2030. Among the five continents, the highly populated urban areas were in North America, Latin America and Europe. In 1950 city dwellers ratio in American continents were 42 – 64% and in 2030 it is expected to exceed 84%.
