The graph compares the growth in the percentage of the population living in urban areas in six different regions of the world.

According to the chart, between 1950 and 2007 the percentage of the population living in cities in Latin America and the Caribbean almost doubled, from 42% to 76%, whereas in Europe it only increased by 21%. However, in Europe over half the people already lived in cities in 1950.

When we compare the projected increases in Asia and Europe by 2050 we see that in Asia the percentage will continue to grow at the same speed, with a further increase of 25%, whereas in Europe the change will be slower than before, increasing by only 12%. By 2050, the vast majority (around 90%) of people in Latin America, the Caribbean and North America will live in cities. Even in Africa, more than half the population (62%) will live in urban areas by then.

该图比较了世界六个不同区域生活在城市地区的人口百分比的增长情况。

根据该图，从1950年到2007年，拉丁美洲和加勒比地区生活在城市的人口比例几乎翻了一番，从42%增加到76%，而欧洲只增加了21%。然而，在欧洲，1950年就已经有超过一半的人居住在城市。

当我们比较亚洲和欧洲到2050年的预测增长时，我们看到，在亚洲，这个比例将继续以同样的速度增长，进一步增加25%，而在欧洲，变化将比以前慢，只增加12%。到2050年，拉丁美洲、加勒比海地区和北美洲的绝大多数人（约90%）将生活在城市。即使在非洲，届时也将有一半以上的人口（62%）生活在城市地区。
