Answer 1

The factor that has led to the development of Southeast Asian cities is primarily **trade routes**. These routes historically facilitated commerce and cultural exchange, contributing to urban growth and the establishment of cities as important trade hubs. While imperialism has also played a role in shaping cities in Southeast Asia, the foundational development linked to urbanization is largely due to trade. Mountain exploration and desert development are less relevant to the specific context of Southeast Asian city development.
