TASK1

The bar chart compares urban population percentages from 1950 to 2050 across six regions. The Americas and Europe had the highest percentages in 2007 at 72% and 76% respectively, projected to rise to around 90% by 2050. Asia and Africa saw significant increases from 1950 to 2007 and are expected to increase further, possibly quadrupling percentages from 1950 levels. Oceania experienced the smallest changes with only a 10% rise by 2007 and 5% predicted for 2050.

TASK1: The bar chart below gives information about the percentage

of the population living in urban areas in different parts of the world.


Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main
features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The bar chart compares and contrasts data on the changes in the percentage of
people inhabiting urban areas , in 6 different regions across the globe, over a
101-year period ,from 1950 to 2050.

In general, across all regions the urban population increased dramatically ,and it
is predicted to increase further toward 2050.
More specifically, the largest urban population in 2007 found to be in Americas
and Europe (72% and 76% respectively) and it is projected to rise further further
in 2050 to around 90%! This is almost double compared to the initial figure in
1950.

With regards to Asia and Africa , although the urbanisation was much less than
that of the western countries, there was a significant increase in urban
population over an 11-year period ,from 1950 to 2007.This figure is speculated to
climb further towards 2050 , which might rise by approximately 4-folds compared
to the original percentage in 1950.
Finally, it is interesting to notice that Oceana region is unique among other
areas ,as it is less affected by urbanisation ,only 10% rise in 2007 and 5% climb
predicted for 2050.
