Fascinating Fact:

Settlement shapes can be nucleated, with buildings grouped closely around a central point, or linear, with houses strung out along a road or valley.

In KS3 Geography, pupils study how settlements grow and change over time. They investigate where people choose to live, how settlements are arranged on the landscape, and how these patterns link to transport, relief and land use.

Key Terms

Settlement: A place where people live and work, such as a village, town or city.
Site: The exact location of a settlement and its physical characteristics, such as slope, soil or water supply.
Situation: The position of a settlement in relation to other places, routes and physical features around it.
