I don't know about hilly areas (many stations are next to dams), but they have to be built where the water flows through the turbines by gravity (i.e., does not have to be pumped).
The centers of most cities became business areas after the invention of buildings. Apex: The Streetcar
There are quite a few water services provided in metropolitan areas. In American cities, there are free fountains one can drink from and public pools. However, in non-American cities there are also public baths and hotsprings available as a service as well.
There would be no sky-scrapers - and our towns & cities would be covering much wider areas.
A nuclear poweplant needs water to cool its uranium so its a good Idea to pplace it near Rivers. The sea is not safe due to the risk of tsunamis. It should be at least 400 Kilo meters away from the general population.
All nuclear esplode is ood
Usually in remote isolated areas.
Nuclear power is not usually sited in cities, I'm not aware of any plants that are. They are always sited in non-urban areas.

Power stations.Most countries operate a national Grid system. This means that all available power stations are linked together in parallel and feed the same system of wires.Power stations all over the country can be taken in or out of use, as demand changes.It does not matter what the driving force is for generation, hydro, nuclear, coal, gas etc. They are all connected to the same system of power distribution, that takes the power into cities and towns.
Yes, there are still people who live in remote areas far from towns or cities. These areas may lack access to basic services and infrastructure such as healthcare, education, and transportation. Living in remote areas can present challenges but can also offer solitude and connection to nature.
Most European cities were places near harbors or rivers because it was easier to transport goods by water. Water also was needed for drinking and sanitation.
Britain's nuclear power stations were built on the west coast due to historical reasons, such as the availability of cooling water from the sea and proximity to population centers. This location also reduces the risk of radioactive contamination spreading over densely populated areas in case of an accident. However, newer nuclear power stations are being built inland to diversify the locations.
The most remote places in the US are often found in Alaska, such as the Aleutian Islands and the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. These areas are considered remote because they are far from major cities and have limited access due to harsh weather conditions and rugged terrain.
remote airports mean the airport in some large distance remote areas like islands,undeveloped areas. most distant areas
