Why Argentina Has No MAJOR City in the South

Описание: Argentina is one of the largest countries in the world, stretching from tropical jungles in the north to icy Patagonia in the south. But here’s the strange part: almost all of its major cities — Buenos Aires, Córdoba, Rosario, Mendoza — are clustered in the central and northern regions. Travel down to southern Argentina, and you won’t find a single city anywhere close to the same scale.

In this video, we’ll break down the physical geography of Argentina and why the south developed so differently from the north. We’ll look at Patagonia’s harsh climate and rugged terrain, the history of indigenous settlement and European colonization, and the economic realities that have kept the south sparsely populated. Even in 2025, despite tourism booms and natural resources, southern Argentina still hasn’t grown a major urban center, and we’ll explain why.
