Step 2 : Answer to the question "What percentage of the world lives in a city or urban area?"

55% - Human civilization began 10,000 years ago when the development of agriculture allowed humans to settle in fixed locations in increasingly larger numbers. From this the first cities were born and their expansion fueled the development of all facets of civilization from technology to art. It may come as a surprise, though, that very few people actually lived in cities prior to the Industrial Revolution. Before 1600, the estimated global population living in urban areas was 5%. In 1800 it rose to 7% and by 1900 it more than doubled to 16%. Now, as of 2018, the United Nations estimates that about 55% of the world’s total population lives in an urban environment. By 2050 that number is expected to rise even further to a whopping 68%, which is an additional 2.5 billion people who be living in urban environments. Highly urbanized regions will see the least change as 82% of the population in North America and 74% in Europe already live in cities, so this growth will largely be fueled by developing countries in Asia and Africa, such as China, India, and Nigeria.:
