No, taking historical context into consideration, of the countries which have coastal areas, those are usually of more easy access for trade, etc so the oldest and more important cities are located near the coast. Mountains tend to be originally more isolated.
The group of people in ancient Mesopotamia who moved from the foothills to the plains were the Sumerians. They migrated from their original settlements in the foothills of the Zagros Mountains to the fertile plains of southern Mesopotamia around 4000 BCE. This movement was driven by the desire to access the rich agricultural land and the benefits of a more settled lifestyle.
The Great Plains cover a wide area of the North American continent. In general, the Plains closer to the Rock mountains are dryer because they are in the rain shadow of the mountains; these are the short grass prairies. Farther east, where it is more humid and there is more rain, there are tall grass prairies. In general, the Great Plains have a wide variety of weather throughout the year with very cold winters and very hot summers. There is usually plenty of wind, too. The prairies support abundant vegetation in undisturbed settings, but people have easily converted much of the prairies for agricultural purposes or pastures.
There are a few advances that allow people to challenges the environments in the great plains. Some of the advances are Technology, treeless and wasteland.
The first mountain range west of the Great Plains is the Rocky Mountains. The Rockies stretch for over three thousand miles between parts of Canada, down through Idaho and Montana, Wyoming, Utah and Colorado, and New Mexico.
The Greeks chose to settle in coastal areas primarily due to their access to the sea, which facilitated trade, fishing, and communication with other civilizations. The rugged terrain of Greece made inland agriculture challenging, so the fertile coastal plains were more suitable for farming. Additionally, coastal settlements offered natural harbors, which were essential for the development of maritime activities and the growth of city-states. This strategic positioning allowed the Greeks to thrive economically and culturally.

Texas has more lowland compared to Colorado. Texas has diverse geographic regions, including coastal plains, prairies, and forests, whereas Colorado is predominantly characterized by the Rocky Mountains and high plains.
Mountains present challenges for urban development due to steep terrain, limited flat land for construction, and difficulties in infrastructure development. Coastal plains, on the other hand, offer more favorable conditions for building large cities, with easier access to transportation, trade routes, and fertile land for agriculture. These factors have historically led to the concentration of population and urban centers on coastal plains rather than in mountainous regions.
Actually plains are more commonly found in Arabian gulf regions
