Advanced technology [APEX]
In addition to a stable agricultural base, a settlement needs several key developments to be considered a civilization. These include the establishment of a governing structure or political system, social stratification with distinct roles and classes, and the development of a written language for record-keeping and communication. Additionally, advancements in technology, trade networks, and cultural practices such as art and religion contribute to the complexity and identity of a civilization.
Settlement on productive land enabled a surplus of food which enabled the development of civilisation .

If you mean generally, then a city is a settlement, usually quite large, which is permanent. Civilization is a stage of development in human society, characterized by advanced agriculture, long-distance trade and division of labour. A civilization may also have a writing, a currency, a tort-based legal system, distinct and/or prominent culture etc.
The Harappa civilization, part of the Indus Valley Civilization, flourished near the Indus River and its tributaries, primarily the Ravi and the Ghaggar-Hakra rivers. The Indus River provided essential water resources for agriculture and trade, while the tributaries supported the settlement and development of urban centers in the region. These rivers played a crucial role in the civilization's prosperity and cultural exchanges.

It is assumed that sumer developed what we call civilization from 5000 before Christ on. It started with a high developed agriculture, division of labour.

I think that waterways affect our settlement and development because its harder for Canada to cross over to the United States.
Agriculture allowed for a stable food supply and surplus production, enabling population growth and permanent settlement. Metal-working provided tools, weapons, and technology that supported agricultural practices and contributed to the development of specialized skills and trade networks within civilizations.
the development of agriculture
Farming and domestication does not always lead to farming but it can. If and when a group of people start to farm and domesticate plants and also animals then that is an indication of settlement. Further development of the settlement because of agriculture (farming and the domestication of plants) can potentially lead to a civilization.
The Olmec had died out long before European settlement.
