The given graph illustrates the growth of cities in South Korea and Indonesia from 1965 to 2009.
Overall, the urbanization rate of two nations both increased. During this period, South Korea always had a higher proportion than its counterpart.
In 1965, while the urban growth rate of Indonesia stood at under 20%, South Korea recorded approximately 10% higher. As can be seen, the figure for South Korea experienced a sharp rise by nearly 40% during 24-year period (from 30% in 1965 to more than 70% in 1989). Meanwhile, the process of city development of Indonesia was slower, rising gradually to under 30% in 1989.
However, the opposite trend was true in the following years. In 1989, after undergoing a notable increase, the speed of urbanization of South Korea was slower in the next 10 years and followed by a period of stability until 2009. At the same period, Indonesia was urbanizing at a rapid speed and reached a peak at 50% in the last year.
