Planet formation is a complex and yet efficient by-product of the star formation that occurs in disks around newly born stars. Over the last decade, more than 250 planet-forming disks have been observed using ground-based near-infrared high-contrast imaging. The sample is now mature enough to allow a comprehensive demographic analysis of individual star-forming regions and to determine the incidence of various disk and ambient features that can be both the origin and the cause of forming planets. Comparing disk populations across different regions and evolutionary stages is key to understanding how disks evolve as planets form within them.
