Population geography

Population geography is a large branch of geography that contains several different topics related to the world''s population. The first of these is population distribution, which is described as the study of where people live. World population is uneven as some places are considered rural and are sparsely populated, while others are more urban and are densely populated. Population geographers interested in population distribution often study past distributions of people to understand how and why specific areas have grown into large urban centres today.
