The belief that between the truly rural and the truly urban are many 'shades of grey'; if we actually look along a scale from the single isolated farm all the way to the http://www.answers.com/topic/megalopolis-3, we do not find any clear boundaries between hamlets, villages, towns, and cities. The change is seen as a continuum, and it applies to the way people live as much as to the nature of the settlements they live in.

The concept of the continuum has been attacked as being simplistic, and overgeneralized, not least because many geographers have detected village-type communities within large cities.
