The graph shows the average annual urban growth rate of5 continents from 1970 to 2025. according to the graph, Africa had about 5% average annual urban growth rate in 1970 and over 4% average annual urban growth rate in 1995. Looking at the graph we can see that urban growth has happened on all 5 continents since 1970 and that it is expected to continue right up to 2025. The most dramatic growth is in Africa, Asia and Latin America, because these continents has experienced the most development and industrialization since 1970, while Europe and North America show less increase probably because they already started being more urbanized. In developing countries many people from the countryside are attracted to the cities to look for work and better opportunities in health and education, but this rapid urbanization is causing many problems and needs to be controlled. The graph shows that since 1970 there has been considerable urban growth in all 5 continents presented and that this trend is expected to continue at least until 2025. However, the rate for each continent has not been the same. The developing countries of Africa, Asia and Latin America experienced the most dramatic growth rates in 1975, with Africa having around 5% per annum, Latin America just over 4% and Asia over 3%. In 1995 these rates decreased to just over 4% in Africa and down to about 2% for Latin America, but Asia remained the same. The growth rate is expected to decrease by about 1% for all three continents by the year 2025. Meanwhile, North America is expected to maintain its growth rate of 1%p.a over the entire period, while Europe having started to the period at about 1.5% growth rate is expected to reduce this to only .2 by 2025.
