PREFACE
The Population Division of the Department of Economic and Social Affairs at the
United Nations Secretariat is responsible for providing the international community with upto-date and scientifically objective information 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 interrelationships.
The Population Division 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 consequences; estimates and projections of the distribution
of the population between urban and rural areas and in cities; estimates and projections of
population size, age and sex structure, and demographic indicators for all countries of the
world; the documentation and analysis of population and development policies at the national
and international levels; and the study of the relationship between socio-economic
development and population change.
This report presents the results of the 2001 Revision of 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
2000. The data in this Revision are consistent with the total populations estimated and
projected according to the medium variant of the 2000 Revision of the United Nations global
population estimates and projections, published in World Population Prospects: The 2000
Revision1 . This Revision updates and supersedes previous estimates and projections published
by the United Nations. Wall charts entitled Urban Agglomerations, 2001 and Urban and
Rural Areas, 2001 will be issued at a later date. This publication, with an expanded analysis
of the data, will be published as a United Nations sales publication later in 2002.
Diskettes containing the major results of the 2001 Revision can be purchased from
the Population Division. A description of the databases and the order form is given beginning
on page 15.

- Two dots (..) indicates 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 and/or 0.0 indicates that the population is less than 500 persons.
- A minus sign (-) before a figure indicates a decrease.
- A full stop (.) is used to indicate decimals.
- Years given refer to 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 1 July of the end year.
Details and percentages in tables do not necessarily add to totals because of rounding.
Countries and areas are grouped geographically into six major areas: Africa; Asia; Europe; Latin
America and the Caribbean; Northern America; and Oceania. Those major areas are further divided
geographically into 21 regions. In addition, countries and areas are classified as belonging, for statistical
convenience, to three general groups: more developed regions, less developed regions and least developed
countries. The more developed regions comprise Europe, Northern America, Australia/New Zealand and
Japan. The less developed regions comprise all regions of Africa, Asia (excluding Japan), Latin America and
the Caribbean, Melanesia, Micronesia and Polynesia. The least developed countries, as defined by the United
Nations General assembly in 2001, include 49 countries, of which 34 are in Africa, 9 in Asia, 1 in Latin
America and the Caribbean, and 5 in Oceania. These countries are also included in the less developed regions.

KEY FINDINGS
World Urbanization Prospects: the 2001 Revision, prepared by the United Nations Population
Division, presents estimates and projections of urban and rural populations for major areas, regions and
countries of the world for the period 1950-2030. It also provides population estimates and projections of
urban agglomerations with 750,000 or more inhabitants in 2000 for the period 1950-2015, and the
population of all capitals in 2001. The 2001 Revision updates the estimates and projections issued in the
1999 Revision.
The key findings yielded by the 2001 Revision are the following:
1. The world’s urban population reached 2.9 billion in 2000 and is expected to rise to 5 billion by 2030.
Whereas 30 per cent of the world population lived in urban areas in 1950, the proportion of urban
dwellers rose to 47 per cent by 2000 and is projected to attain 60 per cent by 2030 (table 1). At
current rates of change, the number of urban dwellers will equal the number of rural dwellers in the
world in 2007.
2. Virtually all the population growth expected at the world level during 2000-2030 will be concentrated
in urban areas (figure 1). During that period the urban population is expected to increase by 2.1
billion persons, nearly as much as will be added to the world population, 2.2 billion (table 1).
3. Almost all of the population increase expected during 2000-2030 will be absorbed by the urban areas
of the less developed regions whose population will likely rise from approximately 2 billion in 2000
to just under 4 billion in 2030. The urban population of the more developed regions is expected to
increase slowly, passing from 0.9 billion in 2000 to 1 billion in 2030.
4. During 2000-2030, the world’s urban population is projected to grow at an average annual rate of 1.8
per cent, nearly double the rate expected for the total population of the world (1 per cent per year). At
that rate of growth, the world’s urban population will double in 38 years (table 1).
5. Population growth will be particularly rapid in the urban areas of less developed regions, averaging
2.4 per cent per year during 2000-2030, consistent with a doubling time of 29 years. In contrast, the
rural population of the less developed regions is expected to increase very slowly, at just 0.2 per cent
per year during 2000-2030.
6. Rural-urban migration and the transformation of rural settlements into cities are important
determinants of the high population growth expected in urban areas of the less developed regions over
the next thirty years. In combination with the universal reduction of fertility levels that is expected to
occur in the future, these changes will lead to the eventual reduction of the rural population of the less
developed regions whose growth rate will become negative in 2025-2030 for the first time. Therefore,
it is expected that the rural population of the less developed regions will reach a peak around 2025
and then begin to decline just as the rural population of the more developed regions has done since
1950 (figure 2).
7. The process of urbanization is already very advanced in the more developed regions, where 75 per
cent of the population lived in urban areas in 2000. Nevertheless, the concentration of population in
cities is expected to increase further so that, by 2030, 83 per cent of the inhabitants of the more
developed countries will be urban dwellers (table 1).

8. The level of urbanization is considerably lower in the less developed regions, where 40 per cent of the
population lived in urban areas in 2000. This proportion is noticeably higher than it was in 1950 (18
per cent) and is expected to rise substantially to reach 56 per cent by 2030. Thus, by 2030, the less
developed regions will reach a level of urbanization similar to that exhibited by the more developed
regions in 1950.
9. There are marked differences in the level and pace of urbanization among the major areas constituting
the less developed regions of the world. Latin America and the Caribbean as a whole is highly
urbanized, with 75 per cent of its population living in urban settlements in 2000, a proportion higher
than that of Europe. Moreover, this proportion is twice as high as the one estimated for Africa or
Asia. With 37 per cent of their respective populations living in urban areas in 2000, Africa and Asia
are considerably less urbanized and, consequently, are expected to experience rapid rates of
urbanization during 2000-2030. It is expected that by 2030, 53 per cent and 54 per cent, respectively,
of their inhabitants will live in urban areas. At that time, 84 per cent of the population of Latin
America and the Caribbean will be urban, a level similar to that of Northern America, the most highly
urbanized area of the world by 2030 (table 2).
10. In Europe and Northern America, the percentage of the population living in urban areas is expected to
rise from 73 per cent and 77 per cent, respectively, in 2000 to 81 per cent and 85 per cent in 2030.
The increase in Oceania is likely to be smaller, from 74 per cent in 2000 to 77 per cent in 2030.
11. Despite their high levels of urbanization, the combined number of urban dwellers in Europe, Latin
America and the Caribbean, Northern America and Oceania (1.2 billion) is smaller than the number in
Asia (1.4 billion), one of the least urbanized major areas of the world in 2000. Furthermore, by 2030,
Asia and Africa will each have higher numbers of urban dwellers than any other major area of the
world, and Asia will account for 54 per cent of the urban population of the world, up from 48 per cent
in 2000 (table 2).
12. Asia also has and is expected to have the largest rural population of the world during 2000-2030,
amounting to 2.3 billion persons both in 2000 and in 2030. Africa, with 498 million rural inhabitants
in 2000, is expected to see its rural population rise to 702 million by 2030, remaining the major area
with the second largest rural population during the period. Except for Africa and Oceania, all major
areas are expected to experience a reduction in their rural population between 2000 and 2030 (table
2). As a consequence of regional trends, the world rural population will remain virtually stable during
2000-2030, varying between 3.2 billion and 3.3 billion (table 1).
13. Although urban areas will encompass an increasing share of the world population, the proportion of
people living in very large urban agglomerations or mega-cities is still small. In 2000, 3.7 per cent of
the world population resided in cities of 10 million inhabitants or more and by 2015 that proportion is
expected to rise to 4.7 per cent. In addition, 2.8 per cent of the world population in the year 2000
lived in cities with populations ranging from 5 million to 10 million inhabitants, and the projected
figure for 2015 is 3.7 per cent. On the whole, by 2015, merely 8.4 per cent of the world population is
expected to reside in large urban agglomerations of 5 million inhabitants or more (table 3).
14. In both the more and the less developed regions, the proportion of people living in large urban
agglomerations (5 million inhabitants or more) is low, amounting to 5.9 per cent in the less developed
regions and to 8.9 per cent in the more developed regions in 2000. By 2015, the relative increase in
that proportion will be greater for less developed regions, where it will rise to 8.1 per cent, a level
closer to the 9.6 per cent expected for the more developed regions.

United Nations Population Division, World Urbanization Prospects: The 2001 Revision
15. The proportion of the world population living in small cities is considerably larger, though it is
increasing at a slower pace. In 2000, 24.8 per cent of the world population lived in urban settlements
with fewer than 500,000 inhabitants and by 2015 that proportion will likely rise to 27.1 per cent (table
3). Furthermore, 52.5 per cent of all urban dwellers lived in settlements with fewer than 500,000
inhabitants in 2000, a proportion that is expected to decline slightly by 2015 but still remain over 50
per cent. Consequently, the trend towards concentration of the population in larger urban settlements
has not yet resulted in a marked decline of either the proportion or the number of persons living in
smaller urban settlements.
16. In more developed regions, the concentration of population in small urban settlements is even more
marked than at the world level. Thus, in 2000, 41.8 per cent of the population in developed countries
lived in urban settlements with fewer than 500,000 inhabitants and by 2015 that proportion is
expected to rise to 43.0 per cent. In less developed regions, where the majority of the population still
resides in rural areas, the proportion of people living in small cities was 20.7 per cent in 2000 and will
rise to 23.8 per cent by 2015 (table 3).
17. Not only do the largest cities account for relatively low proportions of the world population but in
addition their share of the annual growth of the urban population is expected to be moderate. During
2000-2015, cities of 5 million inhabitants or more are expected to absorb 20.9 per cent of the annual
increment in the urban population, whereas urban settlements with fewer than 500,000 inhabitants
will absorb 44.4 per cent (table 4). In both cases, cities in the less developed regions will absorb most
of that increase. Thus the large cities of developing countries are projected to account for 19.9 per
cent of the increase in the world’s urban population and small cities in those countries will account
for 42.0 per cent of that increase. Overall, the largest shares of the increase in the world urban
population will be attributed to urban settlements with fewer than 500,000 inhabitants and cities with
a population between 1 and 5 million inhabitants.
18. With 26.5 million inhabitants, Tokyo is the most populous urban agglomeration in the world in 2001,
followed by São Paulo (18.3), Mexico City (18.3), New York (16.8) and Mumbai (16.5). By 2015,
Tokyo will remain the largest urban agglomeration with 27.2 million inhabitants, followed by Dhaka,
Mumbai (Bombay), São Paulo, Delhi and Mexico City, all of which are expected to have more than
20 million inhabitants (table 5).
19. In addition to the growth of the population within existing large urban agglomerations, the proportion
of the population living in settlements of this size will increase due to a rise in the number of such
agglomerations. Thus, the number of cities with 5 million inhabitants or more will pass from 40 in
2001 to 58 in 2015. Among those cities, the number of mega-cities (those with 10 million inhabitants
or more) will increase from 17 in 2001 to 21 in 2015 (table 5). Most of these large cities are located in
developing countries. In 2001, just 9 of the 40 cities with 5 million inhabitants or more were located
in developed countries and by 2015, only 10 out of 58 cities are expected to belong to this group of
countries.
20. Large urban agglomeratio ns do not necessarily experience fast population growth. In fact, some of the
fastest growing cities have small populations and, as population size increases, the growth rate of a
city’s population tends to decline. However, some of today’s mega-cities have experienced high rates
of population growth over the past 25 years. Thus, Dhaka in Bangladesh grew at an average annual
rate of 7.0 per cent during 1975-2000 and Delhi in India increased at a rate of 4.1 per cent annually
over the same period. But they are exceptional cases. Among the 17 mega-cities as identified in 2001,
just 5 grew at rates above 3 per cent per year and 8 experienced moderate or low growth (below 2 per
cent per year). In the future, just four of today’s mega-cities will exhibit growth rates of 3 per cent or
more (Dhaka, Delhi, Jakarta and Karachi) and 9 will be experiencing very low growth, at below 1 per
cent per year (table 6).

DATA IN DIGITAL FORM
The 2001 Revision of the World Urbanization Prospects, prepared by the United Nations Population
Division, provides a comprehensive and consistent set of urban and rural population data for the world's countries and
areas, as well as for urban agglomerations with more than 750,000 inhabitants in 2000. The data referring to urban
and rural areas cover the period 1950-2030 and those referring to urban agglomerations cover the period 1950-2015.
Detailed results from the 2001 Revision are available for purchase in two sets of files.
The files are prepared in Excel 2000 and are distributed on diskette. An installation program (setup.exe) is
provided to copy the files to disk. It creates a default folder C:\UNWUP2001 for the data. If desired, the user can
change the name of this folder at run time.
In both sets, figures for 1950-2000 are estimates and those for years beyond 2000 are projections. Estimates
and projections are presented only for years that are multiples of five. The urban, rural and city data presented are
consistent with the medium variant of the 2000 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.
(1) Urban and rural areas: Nine files present the estimates and projections of the population in urban and
rural areas as well as associated indicators. The data are presented for 228 countries and areas individually as well as
for 32 country aggregates, including the world as a whole, the more and the less developed regions, the major world
areas and selected additional aggregates. The projected values cover the period 2000-2030. The list of file names and
their contents are presented in detail in tables A and B. The files present information on: (1) the total population by
country; (2) the urban population by country; (3) the rural population by country; (4) the percentage of the population
residing in urban areas; (5) the average annual rate of change of the total population; (6) the average annual rate of
change of the urban population; (7) the average annual rate of change of the rural population; (8) the urbanization rate
or average annual rate of change of the percentage urban, and (9) the average annual rata of change of the percentage
rural.
(2) Urban agglomerations. Seven files present the estimates and projections of the population in urban
agglomerations. The first four files contain data only for urban agglomerations with 750,000 inhabitants or more in
2000. They cover the following indicators: (1) the total population of each urban agglomeration; (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
Two more files present data for specific sets of urban agglomerations. The first presents the 30 largest urban
agglomerations of the world ranked by population size over the period 1950-2015. The second presents the
population of the capital cit ies of each country for the year 2001. Lastly, a file presents the urban population, the
number of cities and the percentage of urban population by size class of urban settlement.
