So between 2090 and 2100 Guangzhou population will go down from 72 million to under 56 million?

Yep, it will start declining rapidly. Near the end of the 21st century many Asian cities that are current megacities will lose population due to longer life expectancy and lower fertility rates, and African cities will continue to grow.

Ah I find this quiz very interesting. The decline of Asian population and the rise of African Population. But who knows? Maybe the African Population will slow down as time goes on just like Asia

I just can't believe this predictions. City with 150 milion people? That cannot function well.

Next, Khartoum, city in the desert (where in fact it may be impossible to live in 2100 due to global warming) with 100 milion is also absurd.
