Originally published in 1982, this book emphasizes the continued
significance and distinctiveness of rural settlement, while at the
same time recognizing the great changes of recent decades. The
early chapters review the field of rural study and trace the
evolution of man-land relationships in the establishment of the
traditional elements of rural settlement. Later chapters discuss
the changes wrought by urbanisation, the industrialisation and
commercialisation of agriculture, the growth of recreation and the
expanding role of public policy. The book stresses the processes
which underlie rural settlement structure and, consistent with its
geographical bias, the functional and cultural foundations of
settled landscapes. While the main emphasis is on Europe and North
America, the diversity of expression of general trends in rural
settlement is recognised by drawing upon examples from Africa,
India, Latin America and South-East Asia.
