Description

Why do the world’s biggest cities stand on coastlines, river mouths, and low-lying land that is highly exposed to floods and storms? From Shanghai, London, Lagos, and New York to Sydney, this video explores the geographic and economic logic behind why major civilizations and financial centers keep rising along the water’s edge. This is not just about history or scenery—it is about ports, trade routes, shipping, logistics, and the global flow of goods. But as sea levels rise and extreme weather becomes harder to ignore, does that old strategy still make sense? #geographyfacts #GlobalTrade #CoastalCities
