In 1950, 29% of the world population lived in urban areas. Today, 56% - 57% live in urban areas, with that number growing annually.
In nearly every nation since the 1950s, there has been a significant migration to urban areas. Because there is employment in cities, millions of people have moved there from rural areas. There were hardly many cities with populations of more than 10 million in the 1950s, but there are now at least 20.
From 751 million in 1950 to 4.46 billion in 2021, the global urban population has increased quickly. By 2050, it will reach 6.68 billion, with an additional 2.22 billion people living in urban areas. Asia and Africa are expected to account for 90% of the increase in the global urban population between 2021 and 2050. Since 1950, the global rural population has been slowly increasing, and it will likely peak in 2023. By 2050, 3.1 billion people will still live in rural areas around the world.
