​Where are the World's Cities most concentrated?



Images like the earth at night from a satellite, can help geographers identify the degree to which urbanisation has taken place in different regions around the world. Some regions of the world demonstrate very little lighting indicating that urbanisation is limited, while others show clusters of lighting giving us clues to the parts of the world that have a higher degree of urbanisation taking place.

Compare the above precipitation map with the satellite image. Describe the link between rainfall and the location of urban regions.  Use language in your response such as place names, direction, physical position.
