City Growth


The graph shows information about the population between 1950 and 2015, and it’s represented in steady stages until five years time, 2015.

It’s clear that the only city whose population dropped is London as shown in the chart, starting with 8M in 1950 to around 7M in 2000.It will have the same population in 2015. New York’s population increased steadily between 1950, which are about 12M, and in 2000 around 16M and it will grow to 17M in 2015. The other seven cities rose dramatically. Cairo began with 2.5M in 1950 and is forecast to arrive at 14M in 2015. From 3M in 1950, Mexico city is forecast to reach 19M in 2015.Shanghal is forecast to reach about 15M , from 5M in 2015, and Sao Paolo 20M in 2015 , from about 2.5M in 1950. Tokyo and Bombay are reaching the top 25M, from 7M and 3.5M respectively. Finally, the most massive rise is Lagos, from less than one million in 1950 to reach 23M in 2015.

London is the only city to decline in population 1950-2015. New York has a steady rise, and the other seven cities all have a massive growth.
