1. Story
2. World Urbanization Prospects 2025 projects roughly 982 million additional city dwellers between 2025 and 2050, with more than half of that increase in seven countries — India, Nigeria, Pakistan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Egypt, Bangladesh and Ethiopia — and the number of megacities rising to 37. This is a projection produced under stated demographic assumptions. It is not a plan, not a target, and not a prediction that anything will be serviced.

22. Evidence
23. 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.
