The bar graph illustrates the changes in the population residing in urban areas on six continents. The information is provided by percentages, including the areas and the three years evaluated.
Overall, the percentage of the population raised across all continents, predicting an important increasement for the future. The majority of the most significant variances occurred in the past period.
Between 1950 and 2007, Africa shows the lowest rate with 15% and 37% respectively. Conversely, North America become the area with the highest increasement between those years, reaching a 79% of population, followed by Latin America and Caribbean, which increased from 42% to 76% while Europe maintained a constant pattern of growth.
Regarding 2025, although it is a variation of just 11% approximately, North America will be the area with the highest percentage of population. This sharply contradict with Africa, which is the continent with the lowest rise expected, increasing to 62%, followed by Asia with 66%. Both continents, will considerably increase the number of their residents from 2007. Remarkably, Oceania will register an increment of just 4% from 2007 to 2050.
To summarize, excepting Oceania, all continents showed significant variations in the periods measured.
