Reading this correctly. Share of the population living in urban areas, as defined by national statistical offices. Not directly comparable across countries because definitions of 'urban' differ. Figures are in % of total population. Comparing this series with a different measure of the same concept (for example a nominal figure against a purchasing-power-parity figure) will give misleading results.
