    URBAN AREAS
    • An urban area is characterized by
    higher population density and vast
    human features in comparison to the
    areas surrounding it. Urban areas
    may be cities, towns or conurbations,
    but the term is not commonly
    extended to rural settlements such
    as villages and hamlets.

    RURAL AREAS
    • In general, a rural area is a geographic
    area that is located outside cities and
    towns. Administration of U.S.
    Department of Health and Human
    Services defines the word "rural" as
    encompassing "all population, housing,
    and territory not included within an 
    urban area. Whatever is not urban is
    considered rural.

    09/16/21 Ahmad Meher 3


    HAMLET
    • A hamlet is a type of settlement. The
    definition of hamlet varies by
    country. It usually refers to a small
    settlement in a rural area, or a
    component of a larger settlement or
    municipality. Hamlets are typically 
    unincorporated communities.

    09/16/21 Ahmad Meher 4


    SETTLEMENT
    • Settlement, locality or populated
    place are general terms used in 
    statistics, archaeology,geography, 
    landscape history and other subjects
    for a permanent or temporary
    community in which people live or
    have lived, without being specific as
    to size, population or importance.

    09/16/21 Ahmad Meher 5


    SETTLEMENT
    • A settlement can therefore range in
    size from a small number of dwellings
    grouped together to the largest of
    cities with surrounding urbanized
    areas. The term may include hamlets
    , villages, towns and cities.

    09/16/21 Ahmad Meher 6


    CITY
    • A city is a relatively large and
    permanent human settlement.
    Although there is no agreement on how
    a city is distinguished from a town
    within general English language
    meanings, many cities have a
    particular administrative, legal, or
    historical status based on local law.

    09/16/21 Ahmad Meher 7


    TOWN
    • A town is a human settlement larger
    than a village but smaller than a city.
    The size definition for what
    constitutes a "town" varies
    considerably in different parts of
    the world.

    09/16/21 Ahmad Meher 8


    CONURBATION
    • A conurbation is a region comprising
    a number of cities, large towns, and
    other urban areas that, through 
    population growth and physical
    expansion, have merged to form one
    continuous urban and industrially
    developed area.

    09/16/21 Ahmad Meher 9


    CONURBATION
    • In most cases, a conurbation is a
    polycentric urban agglomeration, in
    which transportation has developed
    to link areas to create a single urban
    labor market or travel to work area.

    09/16/21 Ahmad Meher 10


    URBAN PLANNING
    • Urban planning (urban, city, and town
    planning) is a technical and political
    process concerned with the use of
    land and design of the urban
    environment, including transportation
    networks, to guide and ensure the
    orderly development
    of settlements and communities.

    09/16/21 Ahmad Meher 11


    URBAN PLANNING
    • It concerns itself with research and
    analysis, strategic
    thinking, architecture, urban design,
    public consultation, policy
    recommendations, implementation and
    management.

    09/16/21 Ahmad Meher 12


    Tools Used in Planning
    Process
    1) Mathematical models
    2) Computer simulations
    3) Scale models
    4) Vision and strategy sessions of
    interested groups
    5) Consultation sessions/ideas fairs to bring
    together new concepts
    6) Design workshops
    7) Social and environmental impact analysis

    • Anyone have a question about the
    topic. Don't hesitate to ask the
    question. Feel free to ask topic
