Re: Functions of urban settlements

The Urban settlement may refer to followings:

Urban area
Municipal urban settlement which is a type of municipal formation in Russia
Urban settlement is a synonym for urban localities in Russia
Urban-type settlement is an official designation for a certain type of urban locality. This is used in some of the former republics of the Soviet Union

You are searching for the functions of urban settlements. Here I am providing you some functions of urban settlements. These are as follows:

It provides goods and services to the central place.

The threshold population of a function is the minimum market size necessary for the function to be profitable.

The range of goods is the maximum distance that the consumers will travel to buy those goods or services

Suppliers selling different goods will locate together in central places for the convenience of customers.

Administrative function is the most dominant function.

Commercial and industrial functions are limited.

Re: Functions of urban settlements

Here I am giving you important details about Urban Settlements 3 - Function of Urban Centers.

Urban Settlements 3 - Function of Urban Centers:

11 Central Place Theory
1. A central place is an urban settlement providing goods and services.
2. The threshold population of a function is the minimum market size necessary for the function to be profitable.
3. The range of goods is the maximum distance that the consumers will travel to buy those goods or services.
4. Suppliers selling different goods will locate together in central places for the convenience of customers.
5. The lower the threshold, the greater the number of central places that will sell the good.
• Goods with high thresholds are called high order goods (e.g. furs and expensive jewellery).
• Goods with low thresholds are called low order goods (e.g. bread and newspaper).
6. A high order central place (large urban centre) usually provides
• more functions and
• a larger range of functions (both high order and low order goods).
7. A low order central place (small urban centre) usually provides
• fewer functions and
• a smaller range of functions (low order goods only).


12 Canberra as an example of a city with a dominant function: administration

12-1 Background
1. Canberra is the capital of Australia.
• The Commonwealth of Australia is formed in 1901.
• A national capital was needed as the centre of government and administration.
• There was rivalry between the two largest cities in Australia - Sydney and Melbourne.
• It was decided to build a capital at Canberra, a small inland settlement between Sydney and Melbourne.
2. In 1911, an area of 2360 km2 was bought from New South Wales, forming the Australian Capital Territory (ACT).
3. An international competition was held to design the new city.
• It was won by an American architect Burley Griffin.
• Canberra did not completely develop until late 1957 because it lacked finance and because of the two World Wars.

12-2 The site of Canberra
1. Canberra is built on an undulating plain which was easy to develop.
2. Canberra is located on the Eastern Highlands, over 550 m above sea level.
3. River Molonglo divides Canberra into two halves.


12-3 The situation of Canberra
1. Canberra has a warm temperate climate with sunny weather.
2. Canberra is located near the densely populated SE Australia.
3. Canberra is not centrally located in Australia but is the centre of population concentration and economic development.
• Canberra lies midway between Sydney and Melbourne. The rivalry between Sydney and Melbourne was solved.
• Canberra lies midway between the agricultural hinterland of Murray-Darling Basin and the industrial SE coast.

12-4 Canberra as a planned city
1. Canberra is divided into distinctive functional zones.
• Different zones are separated by the main avenues.
• Administrative land use is around Capital Hill.
• A large amount of land is used for educational purposes.
• Industrial land use is limited and is located far away from the city centre to avoid pollution.

2. Industrial land use is limited and is located far away from the city centre to avoid pollution.
• Canberra is a garden city.
• There is ample open space, e.g. parks and gardens, which provide a good living environment.
• An artificial lake (Lake Burley Griffin) is formed by building a dam across River Molonglo.
3. There is a regular road pattern, both radial and concentric, to make transport convenient.
4. Self-contained new towns are developed to prevent urban sprawl.
