Why would it be more likely to find a large city on a plain?
It is easier to expand the area of settlement on the plains than it is in a mountainous or hilly or coastal region where parts of the mountain, hills, sea, or ocean are a partial or complete impediment to construction. If the plains also have a stream or river, it makes for easy irrigation and agricultural development, facilitating a large population.
