1. Story
2. On the aggregation of countries' own national definitions of "urban", the global urban share was reported to pass half. The milestone was real within that convention and does not survive translation into the harmonised grid-based method adopted in 2025, under which cities alone hold 45 per cent and cities plus towns 81 per cent — a reminder that the date depended on the definition.

23. Evidence
24. Establishes the 2025 settlement shares (45 per cent cities, 36 per cent towns, 19 per cent rural), the count of 33 megacities, the projection of about 982 million additional city dwellers by 2050 concentrated in seven countries, and the first full integration of the Degree of Urbanisation. V55 verification basis: the UN's own release page carried the headline population-share and megacity claims and attributed them to this report; WebFetch is blocked in this environment, so the Summary of Results volume itself was not opened and the finer figures rest on the release and its summaries.
