It can lead to the growth of cities and urban areas as people migrate for employment. Conversely, economic decline can result in depopulation and the abandonment of settlements as jobs become scarce.
Transportation played a key role in shaping settlement patterns by determining where people lived and worked. Access to waterways often led to the development of towns and cities, while road networks connected communities and enabled trade. The introduction of railways and highways further influenced settlement by facilitating movement and encouraging development along transportation routes.
