Why This Ranking Matters
Examining Urbanization across all countries reveals patterns that might not be obvious at the national level. Regional clusters, outlier nations, and historical trajectories all become clearer when the full global picture is assembled in a single ranking.

Regional Patterns
The top 20 is globally diverse, with countries from 5 continents represented. No single region dominates, suggesting this metric is driven more by national conditions than by broad continental patterns.
