Demographia World Urban Areas Population Projections (From 6th Edition of World Urban Areas) 2010 Demographia World Urban Areas: Population Projections Supplement to 6th Annual Edition (2010) Tables: Table 8: 2025 Projections Table 9: 2030 Projections Population Projections: 2007 Base Year: Population projections are generally based upon United Nations 2007 World Urbanization Prospects growth rates from the base year. The United Nations projections stop at 2025, however, the rate to 2025 is extended to project the 2030 populations. The following cases were developed with other population growth rates: Colombo: United Nations national urban population projection growth rate used. The United Nations data does not include Colombo. Essen-Dusseldorf: Average rate for Cologne and Hamburg used. The United Nations data does not include Essen-Dusseldorf. Frankfurt: Avverage rate for Cologne and Hamburg used. The United Nations data does not include Frankfurt. Jaakarta: Share of national urban population growth for Jabotabek regencies used for projection, due to substantially differing urban area definitions (see Individual Urban Area Notes, below). Katowice-Gliwice-Tychy: United Nations population projected rate for Warsaw used. The United Nations data does not include Katowice-Gliwice-Tychy. Kuala Lumpur: United Nations national urban projected population growth rate used, due to substantially differing urban area definitions (see Individual Urban Area Notes, below). Manila: United Nations national urban projected population growth rate used, due to substantially differing urban area definitions (see Individual Urban Area Notes, below). Milan: United Nations national urban population growth rate used, due to substantially differing urban area definitions (see Individual Urban Area Notes, below). Taipei: Taiwan projected population growth rate used, due to substantially differing urban area definitions (see Individual Urban Area Notes, below). Tunis: United Nations national urban population projected growth rate used. The United Nations data does not include Tunis. United States: Growth rates are based upon the share of the urban area’s growth as a portion of overall United Nations projected urban population growth to 2030, using metropolitan area data for 2000 to 2008.1 1 There is no international standard for delineation of metropolitan areas. Further, no two nations share the same standards (unlike urban areas).
