55% of the World's Population Live in Cities

That proportion has continued to rise steadily, reaching 55% as of 2018. It's climbed faster in China, up from 48% to 59% — meaning an additional 180 million people are living in Chinese cities. 

China now has 130 cities of at least 1 million people, more than the U.S. (45), European Union (36) and South America (46) combined.
