The shown chart illustrates the climbing population in some of the world’s major cities as well as its distribution in urban and rural areas. It is noticeable that Japan held the largest population while Bombay stood at the top in terms of growth rate.
In 1970 Tokyo had about 16 million citizens, which increased estimately by 7 million every 20 years and managed to defend its place as the most populated city over the period. Significant growth can also be found in Bombay and Jakarta, where the population doubled twice in 1990 and 2010. Therefore, they went from least populated cities on the graph to the top three right after Tokyo. A surge of new dwellers also occurred in Shanghai, but it could not be seen until 2010 that roughly 9 million new citizens were registered. New York witnessed least changes with a growth of only 3 million people after 40 years.
