The chart below shows predicted and actual figures for the population of three cities in the world in both years 1990 and 2000. Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant

Task

The bar chart compares the population in Jakarta, Shanghai and Sao Paulo in 1990 with the prediction for 2000 and actual figures in that year.

It is clear that population in those cities all increased over the last decade of the 19th century, with the highest figures recorded in Sao Paulo. Furthermore, the expected figures made in 1990 about the population in 2000 were always higher other the actual ones.

In 1990, Sao Paulo was the most populated place, with 15 million people settling there. This figure was 2 million higher than the population in Shanghai, while 8 million people lived in Jakarta.

At that year, it was predicted that the population in Sao Paulo would climb to 24 million but the actual figure was only 18 million. Similarly, Shanghai and Jakarta were expected to have 17 and 14 million inhabitants in 2000, but the real figures were much lower, at 12 and 11 million respectively.
