Upwardly Urban Mobility — March 2022

Cloud Image

According to UN estimates, 2007 was the first year when the world’s urban population exceeded the rural population. Urbanisation has increased strongly as the world as whole has got richer: 16% in 1900 (when London was the largest city in the world with a population of a mere 5m), 30% in 1950; 50% in 2007. Forecasts suggest the proportion will reach 68% by 2050 (see chart). Currently, the largest city in the world (depending on how you measure it) is Tokyo, with a metropolitan population of 37m.
