Positional Accuracy Projections
Process Step From the UN HABITAT PDF download, the 2010 and 2030 Urbanization percentage figures for the five Lower Mekong countries were copied into an Excel spreadsheet. To create the figure for the additional urbanization percentage by 2030, the original 2030 figure from the report was subtracted from the 2010 figure.
