Settlements that are close together are often referred to as clustered or agglomerated settlements. These types of arrangements typically occur in urban areas where population density is high, allowing for shared resources and infrastructure. This proximity can facilitate social interaction, economic activities, and efficient transportation networks. Examples include towns, villages, or neighborhoods located near each other, often forming a larger metropolitan area.
Many settlements around the world have found that their functions have had to change over time. One such example is that of small farming villages finding that their residents are moving out to find jobs in the cities. This leaves the village empty, apart from the older population. The village then may become a retirement centre, or commuters may move in and it could become a commuter village. Two good examples of the changing functions of a settlement can be seen in Benidorm (Spain) and the South Wales mining towns.
