Overall, it is clear that all areas depicted in the comparison were and will be enjoying positive urbanization rates throughout the one-century period.
In 1950, the percentage of population residing in cities of Latin America, Europe and North America was 40%, 50% and 60% respectively. Those percentages all increased to around 70% in 2007 and are expected to surpass the 80% mark toward the end of the period.
Africa and Asia initially had relatively low city dwellers rate of around 20%, greatest upswings were seen in these areas, which doubled in 2007 and are forecasted to triple to 60% towards the half of this century. On the other hand, Oceania started off with the same percentage as North America of 60%, but also witnessed lowest growth and will only reach 70% in 2050.
