Urban population growth (annual %)

The metric quantifies the percentage increase in the number of individuals residing in urban areas as classified by national statistical authorities, offering a crucial insight into demographic shifts. It leverages population data from the World Bank alongside urbanization ratios derived from the United Nations’ World Urbanization Prospects, which systematically assess the dynamics of urban expansion. This indicator not only reflects population trends but also highlights challenges and opportunities for urban planning, infrastructure development, and environmental sustainability. By monitoring these growth rates, policymakers can better allocate resources, design effective urban policies, and address the socio-economic implications of rapid urbanization, fostering more resilient and inclusive cities for diverse populations.
