Southwest Asia & North Africa
The document discusses population patterns and settlement in Southwest Asia and North Africa. It describes how less than two-thirds of the overall population lives in urban areas, with better watered coastal districts attracting more people. It also examines the role of water resources like rivers in supporting domestication and pastoral nomadism, and how cities originally developed as centers of political, religious, and trade authority. The document analyzes factors like colonialism, conflicts, economies, poverty levels, and women's roles that influence populations across the region.
