[https://www.coe.int/en/web/landscape/publications Spatial development glossary, European Conference of Ministers responsible for Spatial/Regional Planning (CEMAT), Territory and landscape, No 2], published by Council of Europe Publishing in 2007, defines settlement structure as: ‘…the characteristics of the distribution of towns, cities, villages, hamlets, etc. at a wider scale. In this respect, differences can be made between: agglomerated regions (various settlements organised around a dominating metropolitan area), dispersed settlements (homogenous distribution of small and medium-sized urban entities over an area), polycentric settlement systems (organisation of a region around several urban entities), networks of cities (strongly interdependent urban entities in terms of functions without physical continuity), conurbations (groupings of various urban entities close to each other).’
