In this video I talk about areas of the world (in red) where nobody lives. If you're a fan of geography videos on YouTube, you've probably seen videos like this before. But in this video, I'm taking a different approach. Instead of delving into super specific examples, I'm zooming out to look at the bigger picture. From vast areas of Canada and the Amazon to parts of Africa and Asia, the world appears largely empty. However, when we examine the simple element of population density, the picture changes. Additional factors like natural conditions, economic development, and human-made borders all contribute to why some areas are sparsely populated. Join me as we explore why most of the world seems empty, establishing reasons and criteria that likely apply to all those other videos you watch too.
