the Australian problem is that not only is the rain extremely low, being the driest continent outside of Antarctica, but when it does rain, it will flood. The rain patterns are so irregular throughout most of the inner country, that even modern infrastructure can't prevent extreme drought and flood conditions. The north of Western Australia experienced less than 4mm of rain each year for 9 years straight, and then, almost out of nowhere, received something like 21mm in 48 hours. Whereas even the more 'bush' areas closer to the cities are still dangerous due to bushfires as they have the same weather/water problems. Hence most Australians just stick to the coastline and urban areas.

Whenever I look at population distribution maps, I can notice how densely populated the Asia Pacific region is, Indonesia, India, Vietnam, Japan, and this video shows, there are very few empty places in this region of the world
I live in Alberta Canada and outside our cities and small towns. Its pretty empty. I can drive 30 mins from any major city here and be the only one for many square KMs.
Worth noting, the red part of Scandinavia is cold but not more than -40 so not too bad but that part is dark. No sun for one to two months! Darkness is sooo much worse than cold. The rest of Norway and Sweden at least get some daylight, even if the darkness still looms heavily over us.
also, there aren't many other opportunities either, there's a correlation between farming and low population, there's nothing keeping people from leaving for the cities to find work
The US Canadian border is actually a good example of how politics has influenced population density. Alberta is 3x more densely populated than Montana even though they have similar geography, climates, demographics, etc. part of that reason is simply because southern Canada, along the border is where settlers expanded out into. Meanwhile Montana was never really along a popular route for settlers so didn’t receive many. North of Alberta is much harsher and so Canadians moved there. Meanwhile south of Montana is much more mild and so Americans didn’t move to Montana. If Montana had been Canadian is probably would’ve received more settlement and if Alberta was American it probably would’ve received less.
When you live in place like Pangnirtung Nunavut you let none of your hunts go to any waste. Using oil for for a small fire. Bones for tools and furs to help against the tundra. Your also taught that animal have the just as strong as spirt as humans and they're not treated as lesser and to respect your hunt for helping feed your community. As a kid my mom told me the Aurora Borealis represents our ancestors dancing in the sky that have passed on to the afterlife. Very proud to come from a culture that used to have one of the smallest footprint of humans, by how they let nothing go to waste and would use snow as shelter, so they didnt have to destroy trees for shelters
The American state of Nevada is a great example of highly variable population density. Outside of the Las Vegas and Reno metro areas, there are no cities or towns greater than 100,000 in population. 90% of the land in Nevada is owned by the federal government; most of the state is indeed empty. It doesn't take long to reach a spot were you are the only person within eyesight all the way to the horizon.
People live where they are because they have a reason. If the area is agriculturally productive - it has the weather or at least good water sources it will be inhabited by a significant spread-out population. The sea is a source of food so coasts will frequently populated even without good agricultural land but still need basics. Cities can exist outside those area if they are a trade hub or have some important resource nearby. Europe is not empty because most of it supports agriculture. When we go east of Europethen climate becomes worse and from certain point agriculture can't be sustainable due to poor soils, low rain, cold and bad logistics. The major Siberian cities are mostly located where the trans-Siberia railway crosses major navigable rivers so they can serve as a resource extraction and processing hubs. Same with China from east to west - at a certain point it becomes a desert without many reasons to be there
Very good. This is a big subject in Australia. One of the major factors is navigable rivers and coasts. If you exclude other variables there is a close match. You must include some rivers and canal systems that were navigable but have fallen into disuse. Climate is the biggest variable but if you look at maps from the 1930's you will notice areas like Florida and Louisiana were once empty but are now filling. The same is true for most north Queensland and tropical south east Asia. Air conditioning plays a major part. Invented in WW2 to cool army bases and supplies the technology made a major change to the maps. Highway technology also opened up the west of the USA. Canals filled with sea water running inland though desert housing is a technology that is opening up many coastal deserts: UAE, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Egypt. It will be moving out of the middle east soon. The key future technologies have been identified. 1. Air wells, these condense water from the air. They will work even in deep desert but they require reliable night time power. Ground loop heat pumps cooling desert housing is also deploying. 2. Shade design so that the buildings don't get direct sun at high noon and in the mid afternoon. Shaded gardens and parks. The Neom project is all about shade, a self shading project. Its a major part of the New Cities in Egypt. Solar powered air-conditioning on all vehicles and shaded parking. 3. Air cars and Cheap VTOL sky trucks are still science fiction but when they come they will open up many mountainous regions. That's an easy prediction. Europe, the Swiss, Austrians, Italians, and Norwegians haves many funicular railways and cable car systems in their mountains. These including cable car systems for containers and car lifters. The companies that make them have been trying to penetrate mountain countries in the Americas and Asia but often these projects fail because the regions are prone to corruption &/or war. 4. In the cold the key is inter connected urban buildings; tunnels and skyways. Indoor garden and recreational spaces. Weather proof air lock entries and car parking. Double and triple glazing and highways built for snow clearing. Auxiliary heating on any vehicles. In all cases there are working examples but the technologies are still not cheap enough.
If anything, there's a shocking amount of areas that _aren't_ red. The planet is absolutely chock full of people to the point where it can barely handle it. Most of the empty areas are ecologically unproductive land (deserts, mountain peaks/plateaus or tundras), with precious few regions of lush true wilderness.
most cities started in those true wilderness, from a village to town to metro area, that's why most major cities are near a river or ocean, the land is used by people instead of crops
Missed transportation - The eastern US is more densely populated in part because the are natural transportation route (rivers) throughout that area, while in the west the are very few. Water transportation means I can cheeply get good coth in and out of a location - if I can't do that I am limited to only what I can grow myself, and if I grow more, I can't sell it, so that will limit population
One chapter title is "How Urbanization Led to Emptiness Elsewhere." I don't think that's accurate. Urbanization didn't de-populate the other areas; it just increased the population density in the cities and their relative share of the population. I would guess that most of the non-urban areas maintained their populations or even increased in population gradually, while the urban areas' population massively increased. For example the map comparison at 7:17 shows an increase in population in all locations, and no visible decreases, even in the less urban areas.
Just think about how many people you needed on a farm before tractors and other machines were invented and used on a langer scale. Rural areas definitely lost many people to cities then, because they had to leave in search of new jobs.
There has been depopulation of many rural areas such as in the Great Plains of North America. Increased mechanization lead to fewer agricultural workers. Fewer workers had a spillover effect of not supporting as many services. Drive into a rural area not within commuting distance of urban areas and you will see many examples of towns and villages that are just a remant of their earlier population. If you can't get a job in a rural area, you will move to an area where there is more of a chance to get one - closer to a city.

Because those areas are too cold, too dry, too mountainous or too hot and humid (you need the combination of heat and humidity). In some parts of Canada (mainly the southern parts of the Canadian shield in Quebec and Ontario, and there are probably similar areas in Scandinavia), there is simply no soil, because it was all scraped away by the glaciers. Forests aren't a problem because they can be cut down, and politics and borders are a minor issue. By the way, with climate change, some parts of the world that are presently habitable will become uninhabitable, mainly because if it is too hot and humid, perspiration is no longer effective at cooling people down.

Too dry, too cold, too rugged. Also most of the Arabian peninsula is completely empty of people or other living things. This map is probably based on census districts and the Riyadh district probably covers much of the peninsula thereby assigning people to sand dunes
Yeah, I noticed that too. Like, why isn't the Empty Quarter listed as, well, empty? Having it based on census districts makes sense I suppose, from a data gathering perspective. But the map makers really should have double checked the data for anomalies like this. Not every country is going to run their census the same way.
Some of the areas in red are settled but you only need so many people to farm or extract other resources. If the industry is mining say, then a few thousand people can produce an extremely large amount of wealth.
I’m in Uruguay right now and can confirm: besides the cities of Punta Del Leste and Montevideo, there’s no one here. The Pampas are vast and nearly depopulated.
Thank you for the interesting video. I'd just like to add that 1. the red areas aren't empty, there are simply not human populations. These areas are full of life, even more than in cities where humans allow only themselves and certain animals in cages on dead concrete. and 2. it is NOT a "problem" that humans do not exist there, on the contrary. I was actually delighted to learn that in so vast landscapes there are no or only few people.
The bulk of china’s population has always existed to the east of that line. Urbanization did bring rural people into the cities but the vast majority came from rural areas immediately near those cities. The western half of China has always been sparsely populated by comparison and actually since industrialization more of the Chinese population has shifted west relative to historical trends.
The highlands of Scotland is an interesting case, the terrain would make transport difficult but not long ago it was full of villages where people farmed the land, but land owners saw more profit in herds of sheep so evicted the people.

That is an excellent question. And the answer is: Only one way to find out.
I guess india is only top 10 big countries by area to be entirely red free. We have put ppl on mountains and in desert as well.
It just shows how flexible ppl are and how beautiful hospitable our land is.
2:40 Greenland melted and Australia became an archipelago
To save you 11 minutes: Inhospitable environment that makes it hard to develop any sort of infrastructure, and devoid of much natural resources.
This is a facts why people are choosing to live in. Based on topography, weather, landscape and business conditions
The Continental divide i believe has an inside.
He just wiped out RLL's entire backlog in one sweep
Maybe before trying to terraform Mars, we should terraform our deserts here on Earth.
This sounds like an intense Realifelore video.
Totally empty, Canada
Real Life Lore: Why is most of Namibia empty? *Proceeds to make a 20 minute video about it*
General Knowledge: A desert is not suitable for human habitation. Thanks, bye bye.
As the mean population density of the whole planet is
Collectivists want to live in collectivists. Most humans are collectivists. Simple as
TLDW; too cold, too hot, too mountainous, Too much jungle
That means those places are unexplored
"No People"
Brother I LIVE in one of the red places
Cool! Which one?
Europe have geographic advantage
Water. Accessibility. A way to earn a living. Got it.
me - a labradorian seeing this video "i guess im not people" :c
Desserts, cold climates and unproductive arrabke land.
ThIs feels like a generic cash grab vid. Thank you, sponsor, Nord VPN!
Empty Of People -a no !
Hmmmm too cold an, too hot and lots of spiders
A lot of white areas, I am sure, are empty. For example, an empty quarter sand desert in the arabia peninsula.
The Ultimate Diss of RealLifeLore
Wonder why Saudi Arabia is not that empty I mean it’s a desert!
I live in a red zone, and still there are people everywhere here! The world is overpopulated and no billionaire is going to change my opinion 😒
The world can take another 32 billion :)
Reason is not enough peoples
Nice
Too hot, too cold or rainforests. Saved you 11mins
or Communists and Mooslums.....
Bro you took all the real life lores content
Here’s why: most places are unlivable for humans
"The Great Indoors" is the title, of a fictional US American comedy series.
Wow
India is still full of people 😅😅
we are not empty don't send more people here please....Portugal
💛💛💛
No data? color is in white.!
Since we are animals, you just described our ecosystem..😂
Bro. People live in western USA. California is the highest populated state in America. 40M people? ALL RED?
It's not all red though, you the few white parts hold millions of people,
Much of California is either mountainous or desert. The most highly populated areas are either on the Pacific coast or the inland valley (Bakersfield to Sacramento with an opening around Oakland). North of San Francisco are a bunch of scenic yet small towns.
it's a map of population density, not overall population, the western US is not as populated as the east
Is this video meant seriously? Anyone who paid attention for five minutes in Geography class already knows why those regions are sparsely populated.
what can I say, Life is Cringe.
Jesus loves you repent he is coming back he died for your sins please ❤😊s
The idea that earth is overpopulated is, henceforthmstd've, debunked.
What is that contraction
yoo first comment
Thank you sir for ending this genre 🫡
Lol. And shoutout my nigga Geography Geoff!
Why are there no population centers in inhospitable deserts or mountains? I wonder 🤔
Because you haven't terraformed it yet unlike Phoenix or L.A. In the USA, or nearly the whole of Saudi Arabia.
Meanwhile Cairo, Jaipur, Riyadh, Madrid, Manas, Novosibirsk, Kashgar, Ürümqi, Ulaan Baatar laughing at this guy's less knowledge.
Bro, look at the above mentioned cities which have millions of people even after being situated in deserts/mountains/tundra or Rainforests.
Well, who is The Outback/Great Australian Desert + some more uninhabitable for? Started with Many of the Europeans who came and settled there. And after them too. Aborigines lived in Outback including Much of the Driest Desert for 50000 years. Thar Desert, 1 of World's Most Arid Places is the Most Populated Desert in the World where People have been Living for Millenniums - includes Some of the World's Richest Royal Families including from Rajasthan.
Looking to Saudi Arabia: Except, that is, when OIL.
because those deserts can't support a large population without a lot of infrastructure and investment
Too dry, too cold, too rugged.
Also most of the Arabian peninsula is completely empty of people or other living things. This map is probably based on census districts and the Riyadh district probably covers much of the peninsula thereby assigning people to sand dunes
Yeah, I noticed that too. Like, why isn't the Empty Quarter listed as, well, empty? Having it based on census districts makes sense I suppose, from a data gathering perspective. But the map makers really should have double checked the data for anomalies like this. Not every country is going to run their census the same way.
too fertile (rain forest in amazon, congo, borneo.)
As a Canadian I can confirm that Nunavut is very warm and welcoming trust me
We ain’t having Nunavut, sorry
Ahh yes, that Polar Bear trickery to get more humans up there. We know what you're up to ;-)
Just like Thule.
Greetings from the sunny beaches of Arctic Bay!
We have to put all those new immigrants somewhere.
Some of the areas in red are settled but you only need so many people to farm or extract other resources. If the industry is mining say, then a few thousand people can produce an extremely large amount of wealth.
yeah there is a correlation between farming and low population, the land is taken up by crops instead of people
I’m in Uruguay right now and can confirm: besides the cities of Punta Del Leste and Montevideo, there’s no one here. The Pampas are vast and nearly depopulated.
Thank you for the interesting video. I'd just like to add that
1. the red areas aren't empty, there are simply not human populations.
These areas are full of life, even more than in cities where humans allow only themselves and certain animals in cages on dead concrete.
and 2. it is NOT a "problem" that humans do not exist there, on the contrary.
I was actually delighted to learn that in so vast landscapes there are no or only few people.
Mr Beat already made a short with a similar concept funnily enough. Just a general explanation for every one of those videos
That's where I got the idea for this video! His was very good.
The bulk of china’s population has always existed to the east of that line. Urbanization did bring rural people into the cities but the vast majority came from rural areas immediately near those cities. The western half of China has always been sparsely populated by comparison and actually since industrialization more of the Chinese population has shifted west relative to historical trends.
The highlands of Scotland is an interesting case, the terrain would make transport difficult but not long ago it was full of villages where people farmed the land, but land owners saw more profit in herds of sheep so evicted the people.
Great concept for a video, I enjoyed this!
1. Too cold
2. Too hot
3. Too dry
4. Too wet
