Urban Population (% Of Total)

Urban population refers to people living in urban areas as defined by national statistical offices. The data are collected and smoothed by United Nations Population Division.

HOW TO JOIN WITH METADATA

• Concepts (labels/units)
– Use the concept id urban_population_percent_of_total to look up labels and units in @gapminder.metadata.concepts.
SELECT * FROM @gapminder.metadata.concepts WHERE concept = 'urban_population_percent_of_total'.

• Countries and names
– Join your datapoints on geo to @gapminder.metadata.entities_geo_country to get readable country/area names
(e.g., name) and membership attributes such as world_4region, income_groups.

• Regions and other group labels
– After you have a region code from the country table (e.g., world_4region),
you can join to:
· @gapminder.metadata.entities_geo_world_4region on world_4region → region names/colors/shapes
· @gapminder.metadata.entities_geo_world_6region on world_6region → region names
· @gapminder.metadata.entities_geo_income_groups on income_groups → income group names

Example:
SELECT d.time,
c.name AS country,
d.urban_population_percent_of_total AS value
FROM @gapminder.urban_population_percent_of_total.urban_population_percent_of_total_by_global_time d
LEFT JOIN @gapminder.metadata.entities_geo_country c ON d.geo = c.country;
