Major cities in South Asia tend to develop in areas that have fertile farmland. Fertile regions support agriculture, which historically has been a key factor in the establishment and growth of cities, as they provide a stable food supply that can sustain larger populations. This is evident in areas like the Indo-Gangetic Plain, where fertile land has allowed for dense population centers and the development of significant urban areas.
