02

Work in groups. Compare urbanisation
in Viet Nam with that in Malaysia and/or
Australia. Use the information in Writing
and Culture/CLIL and the questions
below to help you.

• Was the proportion of urban population in Viet Nam higher or lower
than that in Malaysia/Australia in the 1970s?
• Which country has a faster urbanisation rate?
• Which one is more urbanised?
• What is the overall trend in urbanisation in each country?

EXAMPLE
In the 1970s, the proportion of the urban population in Viet Nam
was lower than that in Malaysia by around 10 per cent.
Compared to Australia, the figure was almost 10 times smaller.
Since the 1970s, in both Viet Nam and Malaysia urbanisation is
increasing, but in Malaysia, the rate is faster. At present, about
40 per cent of Viet Nam's population lives in urban areas, while
more than 77 per cent of Malaysia's and almost 90 per cent of
Australia's population live in urban areas. Australia is one of the
most urbanised countries in the world while Malaysia is the
most urbanised country in East Asia.
