“By 2050, the urban population in Azerbaijan will reach 6.7 million people,” APA-Economics reports, citing a UN report.
It was noted that the number of the urban population in Azerbaijan will continue to increase. Thus, the urban population, which was 4.18 million in 2000, increased to 6.10 million in 2025 and is projected to reach 6.68 million in 2050. This indicates that the average annual growth rate for 2000-2025 is 0.1%.
The specific weight of the urban population increased from 51.1% in 2000 to 58.6% in 2025. According to the forecast, by 2050, approximately 60% of the population in Azerbaijan will live in cities.
