Fastest growing cities tend to be in poorer countries Mexico city is expected to be in top 3 largest city
WORLD POPULATION DISTRIBUTION
WESTERN EUROPE - low lying gentle sloping, pleasant climate, easy communication and resources for industry - DENSELY POPULATED
AMAZON FOREST - hot,wet, communication and settlement difficult due to thick vegetation - SPARSELY POPULATED
HIMALAYAN MOUNTAINS - Cold, steep slopes, difficult communication and settlements poor soil SPARSELY POPULATED
POLAR regions - very cold,no soil for farming, communication/settlement difficult SPARSELY POPULATED
SAHARA DESERT - too hot, dry, communication & settlement difficult SPARSELY POPULATED

Areas with extreme climates are sparsely populated
extreme temperature
