DESA The Department of Economic and Social Affairs of the United Na-tions Secretariat is a vital interface between global policies in the eco-nomic, social and environmental spheres and national action. The De-partment works in three main interlinked areas: (i) it compiles, gener-ates and analyses a wide range of economic, social and environmental data and information on which States Members of the United Nations draw to review common problems and take stock of policy options; (ii) it facilitates the negotiations of Member States in many intergovern-mental bodies on joint courses of action to address ongoing or emerg-ing global challenges; and (iii) it advises interested Governments on the ways and means of translating policy frameworks developed in United Nations conferences and summits into programmes at the country level and, through technical assistance, helps build national capacities.

Note The designations employed in this report and the material pre-sented in it do not imply the expression of any opinion what-soever on the part of the Secretariat of the United Nations concerning the legal status of any country, territory, city or area or of its authorities, or concerning the delimitation of its frontiers or boundaries.

PREFACE

The Population Division of the Department of Economic and Social Affairs at the United Nations Se-cretariat is responsible for providing the international community with up-to-date and scientifically objective in-formation on population and development. The Population Division provides guidance to the United Nations General Assembly, Economic and Social Council, and the Commission on Population and Development on population and development issues and undertakes regular studies on population levels and trends, population estimates and projections, population policies, and population and development inter-relationships.

The Population Division’s work encompasses the following substantive areas: the study of mortality, fertility, international and internal migration, including their levels and trends as well as their causes and conse-quences; estimates and projections of the distribution of the population between urban and rural areas and in cit-ies; estimates and projections of population size, age and sex structure, and demographic indicators for all coun-tries of the world; the documentation and analysis of population and development policies at the national and in-ternational levels; and the study of the relationship between socio-economic development and population change. This report presents the highlights of the 2007 Revision of World Urbanization Prospects including the official United Nations estimates and projections of urban and rural populations for major areas, regions and countries of the world and of all urban agglomerations with 750,000 inhabitants or more in 2007. The data in this Revision are consistent with the total populations estimated and projected according to the medium variant of the 2006 Revision of the United Nations global population estimates and projections, published in World Population Prospects: The 2006 Revision1. This Revision updates and supersedes previous estimates and projec-tions published by the United Nations. Wall charts entitled Urban Agglomerations 2007 and Urban and Rural Areas 2007 will also be issued in 2008. A CD-ROM containing major results of the 2007 Revision can be purchased from the Population Divi-sion. A description of the databases and an order form are given on pages 63-66 of this publication and are also posted on the Population Division’s web site at www.unpopulation.org. All basic data and a complete list of data sources can be retrieved from an on-line database at the same web site.

EXPLANATORY NOTES The following symbols have been used in the tables throughout this report:

Two dots (..) indicate that the item is not applicable. Three dots (...) indicate that data are not available or are not separately reported. An em dash (—) indicates that the value is zero (magnitude zero). 0 or 0.0 indicates that the magnitude is not zero, but less than half of the unit employed. A minus sign (-) before a figure indicates a decrease. A full stop (.) is used to indicate decimals. Years given start on 1 July. Use of a hyphen (-) between years, for example, 1995-2000, signifies the full period involved, from 1 July of

the beginning year to 30 June of the end year. Details and percentages in tables do not necessarily add to totals because of rounding. References to countries, territories, areas and urban locations

The designations employed and the material in this publication do not imply the expression of any opinion whatsoever on the part of the Secretariat of the United Nations concerning the legal status of any country, territory or area or of its au-thorities, or concerning the delimitation of its frontiers or boundaries.

The designations “more developed” and “less developed” regions are intended for statistical convenience and do not nec-essarily express a judgment about the stage reached by a particular country or area in the development process. The term “country”, as used in this publication, also refers, as appropriate, to territories or areas.

More developed regions comprise all regions of Europe plus Northern America, Australia/New Zealand and Japan. The term “developed countries” is used to designate countries in the more developed regions.

Less developed regions comprise all regions of Africa, Asia (excluding Japan) and Latin America and the Caribbean, as well as Melanesia, Micronesia and Polynesia. The term “developing countries” is used to designate countries in the less developed regions.

The group of least developed countries, as defined by the United Nations General Assembly in 2003, comprises 50 coun-tries, of which 34 are in Africa, 10 in Asia, 1 in Latin America and the Caribbean, and 5 in Oceania.

Country names and the composition of geographical areas follow those of “Standard country or area codes for statistical use” (ST/ESA/STAT/SER.M/49/Rev.3), available at: http://unstats.un.org/unsd/methods/m49/m49.htm.

Names of cities or urban agglomerations are presented in their original language, following the names used by National Statistical Offices or the United Nations Demographic Yearbook. For cities with names in more than one language, dif-ferent names are separated by a hyphen. If the country uses script with non-Latin characters, a transliteration of the origi-nal spelling into Latin script is used. If cities have established alternative names or English names, these names are added in brackets. The administrative subdivision to which a city belongs is appended, if needed, to the city name to identify the city unambiguously.

For convenience, the term “growth rate” is used in this report instead of the more precise term “rate of change” which reflects that populations can grow or decline.

United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs/Population Division 1 World Urbanization Prospects: The 2007 Revision

HIGHLIGHTS

Since 1988 the Population Division of the Department of Economic and Social Affairs of the United Na-tions has been issuing every two years revised and updated estimates and projections of the urban and rural populations of all countries in the world and of their major urban agglomerations. This note presents the main findings of the 2007 Revision of World Urbanization Prospects which are consistent with the size of the total population of each country as estimated or projected in the 2006 Revision of World Population Prospects (United Nations, 2008).

The 2007 Revision presents estimates and projections of the total, urban and rural populations of the world

for the period 1950-2050. The results are shown for development groups, six major areas (i.e., Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean, Northern America and Oceania) and 21 regions. Data are further disaggregated for the 229 countries or areas of the world. The 2007 Revision also provides estimates and pro-jections of the population of urban agglomerations with 750,000 inhabitants or more in 2007 for the period 1950-2025. Estimates of the proportion of the population living in urban areas and the population of cities are derived on the basis of national statistics. The most common source of data on the proportion urban and the population of cities and urban agglomerations is the population census. For some countries, the basic data are obtained from population registers or administrative statistics.

The 2007 Revision corroborates that the world population will reach a landmark in 2008: for the first time

in history the urban population will equal the rural population of the world and, from then on, the world popu-lation will be urban in its majority. This event is a consequence of rapid urbanization in the last decades, es-pecially in the less developed regions. Nevertheless, major parts of the world remain largely rural. In Africa and Asia, still six out of every ten persons live in rural areas.

Between 2007 and 2050, the world population is expected to increase by 2.5 billion, passing from 6.7 bil-

lion to 9.2 billion (United Nations, 2008). At the same time, the population living in urban areas is projected to gain 3.1 billion, passing from 3.3 billion in 2007 to 6.4 billion 2050. Thus, the urban areas of the world are expected to absorb all the population growth expected over the next four decades while at the same time drawing in some of the rural population. As a result, the world rural population is projected to start decreasing in about a decade and 0.6 billion fewer rural inhabitants are expected in 2050 than today. Furthermore, most of the population growth expected in urban areas will be concentrated in the cities and towns of the less de-veloped regions. Asia, in particular, is projected to see its urban population increase by 1.8 billion, Africa by 0.9 billion, and Latin America and the Caribbean by 0.2 billion. Population growth is therefore becoming largely an urban phenomenon concentrated in the developing world.

Realization of these projections is contingent on the continuation of fertility reductions in the developing

world. If fertility were to remain constant at current levels and the pace of urbanization remained that pro-jected in the 2007 Revision, the world urban population would increase to 8.1 billion by 2050 instead of the 6.4 billion expected when fertility is assumed to continue declining in all developing regions. In many coun-tries, natural increase (the difference of births minus deaths) accounts for 60 per cent or more of urban popu-lation growth. Consequently, policies that facilitate the reduction of fertility by allowing couples to have the number of children they desire can contribute to moderate increases in the number of urban dwellers, thereby making it easier for developing countries to adjust to the transformations associated with growing urbaniza-tion.

There is significant diversity in the urbanization levels reached by different regions. The transformative

power of urbanization was felt earlier in today’s more developed regions and they have reached high levels of urbanization. Thus, 74 per cent of the inhabitants of more developed regions lived in urban areas in 2007,

Page 16: 2007 United Nations World Urbanization Propects_Highlights_web

2 United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs/Population Division World Urbanization Prospects: The 2007 Revision

whereas just 44 per cent of those in the less developed regions did so. Urbanization is expected to continue rising in both the more developed and the less developed regions so that, by 2050, urban dwellers will likely account for 86 per cent of the population in the more developed regions and for 67 per cent of that in the less developed regions. Overall, the world population is expected to be 70 per cent urban in 2050.

Today’s 3.4 billion urban dwellers are distributed unevenly among urban settlements of different size. In

discussing urbanization, the focus often is on large cities, cities whose populations are larger than those of many countries. In 2007, 19 urban agglomerations qualified as megacities because they had at least 10 million inhabitants. Despite their visibility and dynamism, megacities account for a small though increasing propor-tion of the world urban population: nearly 9 per cent in 2007 and nearly 10 per cent in 2025. At the same time, over half of the urban population lives and will continue to live in small urban centres with fewer than half a million inhabitants. These and other key findings of the 2007 Revision are summarized below.

Key Findings of the 2007 Revision

1. During 2008, for the first time in history, the proportion of the population living in urban areas will

reach 50 per cent (figure I.1). While in the more developed regions, the proportion urban was already nearly 53 per cent in 1950, in the less developed regions the 50 per cent level will likely be reached around 2019 (figure I.2).

2. The world urban population is expected nearly to double by 2050, increasing from 3.3 billion in 2007 to 6.4 billion in 2050. By mid-century the world urban population will likely be the same size as the world’s to-tal population in 2004. Virtually all of the world’s population growth will be absorbed by the urban areas of the less developed regions, whose population is projected to increase from 2.4 billion in 2007 to 5.3 billion in 2050. The urban population of the more developed regions is projected to increase modestly, from 0.9 billion in 2007 to 1.1 billion in 2050 (table I.1).

3. The world rural population is expected to reach a maximum of 3.5 billion in 2018 or 2019 and to de-

cline slowly thereafter, to reach 2.8 billion in 2050 (figure I.1). These global trends are driven mostly by the dynamics of rural population growth in the less developed regions, which house today 90 per cent of the world rural population. Whereas the rural population of the more developed regions has been declining stead-ily during the second half of the twentieth century and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future, the rural population of the less developed regions more than doubled since 1950 and will likely continue to grow until 2021 before a long-term decline sets in.

4. The rate of growth of the world urban population is slowing down (table I.1). Between 1950 and 2007, the world urban population grew at an average rate of 2.6 per cent per year and more than quadrupled over the period, passing from 0.7 billion to 3.3 billion. During 2007-2025, the world urban population is projected to grow at an average annual rate of 1.8 per cent, which, if maintained, would lead to a doubling of the urban population in 38 years. During 2025-2050, the urban growth rate is expected to decline further to 1.3 per cent per year, implying a doubling time of 52 years.

5. The sustained increase of the urban population combined with the pronounced deceleration of rural population growth will result in continued urbanization, that is, in increasing proportions of the population living in urban areas. Globally, the level of urbanization is expected to rise from 50 per cent in 2008 to 70 per cent in 2050 (table I.2). More developed regions are expected to see their level of urbanization rise from 74 per cent to 86 per cent over the same period. In the less developed regions, the proportion urban will likely increase from 44 per cent in 2007 to 67 per cent in 2050 (table I.2).

6. Historically, the process of rapid urbanization started first in today’s more developed regions. In 1920, just under 30 per cent of their population was urban and by 1950, more than half of their population was liv-ing in urban areas. In 2007, high levels of urbanization, surpassing 80 per cent, characterized Australia, New Zealand and Northern America. Europe, with 72 per cent of its population living in urban areas, was the least urbanized major area in the developed world. By 2050, Australia, New Zealand and Northern America are all expected to be over 90 per cent urban while Europe’s level of urbanization is projected to be lower, at 84 per cent (table I.4).

7. Among the less developed regions, Latin America and the Caribbean has an exceptionally high level of urbanization (78 per cent), higher than that of Europe. Africa and Asia, in contrast, remain mostly rural, with 38 per cent and 41 per cent, respectively, of their populations living in urban areas. Over the coming decades, the level of urbanization is expected to increase in all major areas of the developing world, with Africa and Asia urbanizing more rapidly than the rest (table I.4). Nevertheless, by mid-century, Africa and Asia are ex-pected still to have lower levels of urbanization than the more developed regions or Latin America and the Caribbean (figure I.3).

8. Despite its low level of urbanization, in 2007 Asia was home to about half of the urban population in the world. Europe had the second highest share, at 16 per cent (figure I.4). Over the next four decades, Africa and Asia will experience a marked increase in their urban populations. In Africa the urban population is likely to treble and in Asia it will more than double (table I.3). By mid-century, most of the urban population of the world will be concentrated in Asia (54 per cent) and Africa (19 per cent) (figure I.4)

9. With the exception of Africa and Oceania, all major areas are expected to have smaller rural popula-tions in 2050 than today (table I.3). Africa’s rural population may start to decline before the mid-century. To-day, the majority of rural dwellers live in Asia (71 per cent) and Africa (18 per cent) and the concentration of the world rural population in these two major areas combined is expected to increase so that, by 2050, 64 per cent of all rural inhabitants are projected to live in Asia and 27 per cent in Africa.

10. The world urban population is highly concentrated in a few countries. In 2007, three quarters of the 3.3 billion urban dwellers on Earth lived in 25 countries, whose urban populations ranged from 29 million in South Africa to 561 million in China. China, India and the United States of America accounted for 35 per cent of the world urban population. Most of the 25 countries with the largest urban populations are highly urban-ized, but seven have levels of urbanization ranging from 27 per cent to just over 50 per cent and they include some of the most populous countries in the world: Bangladesh, China, India, Indonesia, Nigeria and Pakistan.

11. Most countries have small urban populations. In 2007, two thirds of the 229 countries or areas consid-

ered had fewer than 5 million urban dwellers and they accounted for 5.8 per cent of the world urban popula-tion. Among them, 60 per cent had urban populations below one million and accounted for 0.6 per cent of all urban dwellers on Earth. By 2050, just half of all countries or areas are expected to have fewer than 5 million urban dwellers and to account for barely 2 per cent of the world urban population.

8 United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs/Population Division World Urbanization Prospects: The 2007 Revision

12. Similarly, the increases in the world urban population are concentrated in a few countries, with China and India projected to account together for about a third of the increase in the urban population in the coming decades. Between 2007 and 2025, the urban areas of the world are expected to gain 1.3 billion people, includ-ing 261 million in China and 197 million in India, which account together for 35 per cent of the total increase. Nine additional countries are projected to contribute 29 per cent of the urban increment, with increases rang-ing from 20 million to 62 million. The countries involved are: Nigeria and the Democratic Republic of Congo in Africa; Bangladesh, Indonesia, Pakistan and the Philippines in Asia; Brazil and Mexico in Latin America, and the United States of America. Among them, those in Africa and Asia will experience high rates of urban population growth, surpassing 2 per cent or even 3 per cent per year.

13. A further urban increment of 1.8 billion people is expected globally during 2025-2050, with India being the major contributor (377 million) and China following (205 million). Together, the two most populous countries on Earth are expected to account for 32 per cent of urban growth during 2025-2050. In 2050, China will still have the largest urban population (1 billion), followed by India (0.9 billion).

14. In a few developed countries, the urban population will decrease. Despite the projected increases in the

level of urbanization, overall population decline in several countries will lead to a reduction in the number of urban dwellers. Between 2007 and 2025, the urban population of the Russian Federation and that of Ukraine are projected to decline by 8 million and 3 million, respectively. Between 2025 and 2050, more countries will experience reductions in the urban population. Those with the largest drops include Japan (a reduction of 4 million), the Republic of Korea (4 million), the Russian Federation (7 million) and Ukraine (4 million).

15. The rural population is even more highly concentrated in a few countries than the urban population. In 2007, 18 countries accounted for 75 per cent of the rural population and all but three (Japan, the Russian Fed-eration and the United States) are located in Africa or Asia. India has the largest rural population (828 mil-lion), followed by China (767 million). Together, they account for 47 per cent of the world rural population. Bangladesh, Indonesia and Pakistan follow, each with over 100 million rural inhabitants. In Africa, the largest rural populations are located in Nigeria (78 million), Ethiopia (69 million), Egypt (43 million), the Democ-ratic Republic of Congo (42 million), the United Republic of Tanzania (30 million) and Kenya (30 million). During 2007-2025, the rural populations of most of those African countries are projected to increase at rates equal to or higher than 1 per cent per year, the only exception being Nigeria. Among populous countries in Asia, Pakistan will have the highest rural growth rate during 2007-2025 (0.8 per cent per year). In contrast, in eight of the 18 countries with large rural populations the rural population is declining, with China, Indonesia, Japan, the Russian Federation and the United States having the fastest rates of decline.

16. As in the case of the urban population, most countries have small rural populations. In 2007, 69 per cent

of the 229 countries or areas considered had at most 5 million rural inhabitants and accounted for 4.8 per cent of the world rural population. In three quarters of them, the rural population is projected to decrease during 2007-2050.

17. The 3.3 billion urban dwellers in 2007 were distributed unevenly among urban settlements of different

size. Over half of the world urban population (52 per cent) lived in cities or towns with fewer than half a mil-lion inhabitants. In the more developed regions, 54 per cent of the urban population lived in small urban cen-tres and 51 per cent did so in the less developed regions. Between 2007 and 2025, small urban centres are ex-pected to absorb nearly half of the expected increase in the urban population.

18. Cities in the next size class, whose population ranges from 500,000 to one million inhabitants, are nu-merous (460 in 2007 rising to 551 in 2025), but they account for just 10 per cent of the overall urban popula-tion. Medium-sized cities, with more than a million inhabitants but fewer than 5 million, are also numerous (382 in 2007 increasing to 524 in 2025) and they account for 23 per cent of the urban population (table I.5).

Page 23: 2007 United Nations World Urbanization Propects_Highlights_web

United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs/Population Division 9 World Urbanization Prospects: The 2007 Revision

19. Large cities, whose populations range from 5 million to just under 10 million, numbered 30 in 2007 and are expected to number 48 in 2025, but accounted for just 7 per cent of the urban population. Three quarters of these “megacities in waiting” are located in developing countries.

20. Megacities are urban agglomerations with at least 10 million inhabitants. There are today 19 megacities on Earth and their number is expected to increase to 27 in 2025. The proportion of people living in megacities is small. In 2007, 9 per cent of the world urban population resided in megacities and by 2025 their share is expected to raise to almost 10 per cent. In relation to the whole world population, megacities account today for 4 per cent of the population, meaning that just one in twenty-five people on Earth live in megacities.

21. Asia has eleven megacities; Latin America has four; Northern America, two; and Africa and Europe have one each. Eleven of these megacities are capitals of their countries. By 2025, when the number of mega-cities rises to 27, Asia would have increased its number by five; Africa by two, and Europe by one.

Page 25: 2007 United Nations World Urbanization Propects_Highlights_web

United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs/Population Division 11 World Urbanization Prospects: The 2007 Revision

22. The distribution of the urban population by city size class varies among the major areas. In Latin Amer-ica and the Caribbean, for instance, urban dwellers are more concentrated in the megacities than in the world as a whole: 14 per cent live in megacities. Relatively high concentrations of urban dwellers in megacities are also found in Northern America (11 per cent) and Asia (10 per cent). In contrast, 58 per cent of urban dwell-ers in Africa live in small urban centres with fewer than half a million inhabitants and 68 per cent of those in Europe do the same.

23. With nearly 36 million inhabitants in 2007, Tokyo is by far the most populous urban agglomeration in the world, but it encompasses all contiguous densely inhabited districts in Tokyo-to (ku-bu) plus those in 87 surrounding cities and towns, including Yokohama, Kawasaki and Chiba, important cities in their own rights. Other megacities, while named after the major city at their core, also encompass a large area and a number of urban settlements within it, constituting therefore complex urban agglomerations. Following Tokyo, the next largest urban agglomerations are New York-Newark, Ciudad de México, Mumbai and São Paulo, each with about 19 million inhabitants. In 2025, Tokyo is still expected to be the world’s most populous urban agglom-eration with 36 million inhabitants, followed by Mumbai (with 26 million), Delhi (23 million), Dhaka (22 million) and São Paulo (21 million) (table I.6).

NOTE: Urban agglomerations are ordered according to their population size in 2007.

24. Large urban agglomerations are not necessarily experiencing fast population growth. Among the 19

megacities in 2007, one-third experienced annual population growth below 1.5 per cent between 1975 and 2007 and just five grew at rates above 3 per cent per year (table I.7): Dhaka in Bangladesh (5.6 per cent per year); Delhi (4.0 per cent) and Mumbai (3.1 per cent) in India; Karachi in Pakistan (3.5 per cent), and Istanbul in Turkey (3.2 per cent). Between 2007 and 2025, two-thirds of the megacities are projected to experience

Page 26: 2007 United Nations World Urbanization Propects_Highlights_web

12 United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs/Population Division World Urbanization Prospects: The 2007 Revision

annual population growth below 1.5 per cent and only two (Dhaka and Karachi) will maintain population growth rates above 2 per cent.

25. Faced with the numerous opportunities and challenges associated with urbanization, many Govern-ments have consistently considered their population’s spatial distribution as a concern. In 2007, 85 per cent of Governments expressed concern about their pattern of population distribution, a percentage comparable to that recorded in the 1970s (table I.8). Among developing countries, 56 per cent wished to make a major change in the spatial distribution of their populations, whereas 32 per cent desired a minor change. Among developed countries, 37 per cent desired a major change and 39 per cent a minor change. Dissatisfaction re-garding patterns of population distribution was highest in Africa (74 per cent of its countries desired a major change) and Asia (51 per cent desired a major change). In Latin America and the Caribbean, Oceania and Europe, about 40 per cent of Governments considered that major changes in spatial distribution were desir-able (United Nations, 2007).

26. A common policy to modify population distribution includes various types of measures to reduce mi-grant flows to large cities. The percentage of developing countries having implemented such policies rose from 44 per cent to 74 per cent between 1976 and 2007. Among developed countries, the proportion with policies to reduce flows to large cities declined from 55 per cent in 1975 to 26 per cent in 1996 and then re-bounded to reach 39 per cent in 2007. In Oceania, 83 per cent of countries have such policies, in Africa 78 per cent, in Asia 71 per cent and in Latin America and the Caribbean 68 per cent.

SOURCES OF DATA

This chapter contains information on the sources of data used in estimating and projecting the popula-tion of urban areas and urban agglomerations. Sec-tion A presents the sources of data and the defini-tions underlying the data on urban populations. The definitions presented are generally those used by national statistical offices in carrying out the latest available census. When the definition used in the latest census was not the same as in previous cen-suses, the data were adjusted whenever possible so as to maintain consistency. In cases where adjust-ments were made in such a way as to ensure consis-tency with the definition used in previous censuses, that information is included in the sources listed below. United Nations estimates and projections are based, to the extent possible, on actual enumera-tions. In some cases, however, it was desirable to incorporate official or other estimates of urban population size as part of the input for the estima-tion of trends. The sources below indicate when that was done.

Section B presents sources of data and the statisti-cal concepts underlying the data used in estimating and projecting the populations of urban agglomera-tions and capital cities. The term “Urban agglomera-tion” refers to the population contained within the contours of a contiguous territory inhabited at urban density levels without regard to administrative boundaries. It usually incorporates the population in a city or town plus that in the suburban areas lying outside the city proper but being adjacent to the city boundaries. Whenever possible, data classified ac-cording to the concept of urban agglomeration are used. However, some countries do not produce data according to that concept but use instead that of metropolitan area or City proper. If possible, such data are adjusted to conform to the concept of urban agglomeration. When sufficient information is not available to permit such an adjustment, data based on the concept of City proper or metropolitan area are used. The sources listed in section B indicate whether data were adjusted to conform to the con-cept of urban agglomeration or whether a different concept was used.

DATA IN DIGITAL FORM

The 2007 Revision of the World Urbanization Prospects, prepared by the United Nations Population Di-vision, provides a comprehensive and consistent set of urban and rural population estimates and projections for the all countries and areas of the world, as well as for urban agglomerations with more than 750,000 inhabitants in 2007. The data referring to urban and rural areas cover the period 1950-2050 and those referring to urban agglom-erations cover the period 1950-2025. Detailed results from the 2007 Revision are available for purchase in two sets of files, distributed on a single CD-ROM.

The files are prepared in Excel 2003, which is compatible with all versions since Excel 5.0/95. The CD-ROM version launches a navigation interface upon insertion. The interface provides direct access to the files.

In the data sets, figures for 1950-2007 are estimates and those for years beyond 2007 are projections. With the exception of a selected set of annual indicators, estimates and projections are presented for years that are multiples of five. The urban, rural and city data presented are consistent with the medium variant of the 2006 Revision of World Population Prospects, the official United Nations population estimates and projections at the national level. A short description of each set of files is presented below; the list of file names and their contents are presented in detail in tables A and B on the following pages.

(1) Urban and rural areas: Ten files present estimates and projections of the population in urban and rural areas as well as associated indicators. The data are presented for 229 countries and areas individually and for 33 country aggregates, including the world as a whole, the more developed regions and the less developed regions, the major world areas and the world regions. The projected values cover the period 2007-2050. The files present information on: (1) the urban and rural population and the percentage urban in 2007; (2) the percentage of the population residing in urban areas; (3) the urban population by country; (4) the rural population by country; (5) the total population by country; (6) the average annual rate of change of the urban population; (7) the average annual rate of change of the rural population; (8) the average annual rate of change of the total population; (9) the urbanization rate or average annual rate of change of the percentage urban, and (10) the average annual rate of change of the percentage rural. All these data are presented for five-year periods. Annual time series are provided for the following five indicators: (10) the total population by country; (11) the urban population by country; (12) the rural population by country; (13) the percentage of the population residing in urban areas.

(2) Urban agglomerations: Eleven files present estimates and projections of the population in urban ag-glomerations with 750,000 inhabitants or more in 2007. They cover the following indicators: (1) the total popula-tion of each urban agglomeration (also included as annual time series); (2) the average annual rate of change of the population of each urban agglomeration; (3) the percentage of the urban population residing in each urban agglomeration; (4) the percentage of the total population residing in each urban agglomeration. Three more files provide data for specific sets of urban agglomerations. The first one presents the 30 largest urban agglomerations ranked by population size over the period 1950-2025. The second presents a time series for the period 1950-2025 of the population of the 30 largest urban agglomerations in 2007. The third presents the population of the capital cities of each country for the year 2007. Lastly, four files (one per indicator) provide summary statistics for major areas, regions and countries with a population of at least 100,000 in 2007 on the number of cities, the percentage of the urban population and the urban population by size class of urban settlement.
