The graph shows the different trends in population growth in less developed regions of the
world versus more developed regions of the world. Solid lines in the graph indicate past data,
and dashed lines indicate future projections. (Projections of data are based on models,
simulations, or extrapolations from past data.) In what year do the more developed and less
developed urban regions have (or are projected to have) the same population?
