World Urbanization Prospects 2018 (2018 Revision) from the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, Population Division, provides revised estimates and projections of urban and rural populations for all countries worldwide and their major urban agglomerations. The dataset presents the main findings of the 2018 revision and is designed to be consistent with national total population estimates and projections from the 2017 Revision of the World Population Prospects. It is distributed through data tables, figures, maps, analyses, and technical notes, and is widely used across the United Nations and by international organizations, researchers, academic institutions, and the media to analyze and compare urbanization patterns and population dynamics over time.
