      why did people go there and not somewhere else why did infrastructure get built there and not somewhere else you're not thinking about this question as seriously as you should be: why ARE cities valuable?

      wow three rivers which only fell within "Beijing municipality" when the CCP redefined that area to encompass some 6,400 square miles of land, largely rural and well outside the historic confines of the city

      you're really gonna focus hard on one city out of 20 or 50 just to be technically right?

      Do you want me to whip up a comprehensive list of major cities built either on navigable water ways or bodies of water with suitable harbors too?

      be my guest, but I never argued that those don't exist--only that navigable waterways and harbors are not prerequisites for cities

          I'll add the caveat that the city must have been established as an influential population center PRIOR to the advent of Rail, Automobile, or Air transport.

          No kidding; seaports became considerably more valuable after railways came along--before that, major cities favored rivers for water access (ocean access wasn't rare, of course, just less common)

          Damascus and Aleppo, two of the oldest on the planet, have no navigable rivers or seaports. Also lol @ LA, since they didn't have one either until massive civil engineering works made them one (well away from downtown)

          I forgot who said it--something about "you should've built a city where God put a harbor instead of having the government make one for you"

          Milan, older than Rome, is a full day's walk away from any major rivers (the Po). Persepolis and Jerusalem had no ports or navigable rivers.
