Source:Population Division of the United Nations Secretariat, World Urbanization Prospects: The 1996 Revision (United Nations publication, forthcoming). a Pursuant to a Joint Declaration signed on 19 December 1984, the United Kingdom restored Hong Kong to the People's Republic of China with effect from 1 July 1997; the People's Republic of China resumed the exercise of sovereignty over the territory with effect from that date. Technical notes: Estimates and projections of urban and rural populations are made by the Population Division of the United Nations Secretariat and published every two years. These estimates and projections are based on national census or survey data that have been evaluated and, whenever necessary, adjusted for deficiencies and inconsistencies. Urban-rural classification of population in internationally published statistics follows the national census definition, which differs from one country or area to another. National definitions are usually based on criteria that may include any of the following: size of population in a locality, population density, distance between built-up areas, predominant type of economic activity, legal or administrative boundaries and urban characteristics such as specific services and facilities. The approach used in estimating rates of population change is one of continuous growth which considers that population grows exponentially. The average annual percentage change in population is an average for the five-year period 1995-2000. Copyright © 1997, United Nations.
