Where the next billion city dwellers are projected to be

node

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.

A node is not a place. Drawing it on a map would assert something about the world that no stored fact supports.
