HUMAN SETTLEMENTS
Demography
Timeline of Human History
100’s of thousands of years ago man 1st appeared in the Great Rift Valleys of East Africa.
10,000 years ago man had migrated into the Middle East. Discovered how to plant seeds for food leading them
to abandon nomadic (wandering in search of food) hunting and gathering lifestyle.
Agriculture spreads and people start to settle in 1 place & develop cities.
River Valley Civilizations
River valley’s good soil & water=1st cities arose b/c enough food for population= - in # of farmers & + priests, soldiers, traders, & craftspeople= need for government.
Industrial Revolution
1700’s the Industrial Revolution begins= + urbanization (movement of people to the cities) = + in factory jobs and opportunities
Now
¾ of world’s population lives on 5% of land. Top 5 areas
East Asia South Asia S.E. Asia Europe North America
Physical & Human factors influence where people settle
Factors influencing where people settle: Physical Factors
ClimateMost where
temperate or mild climate.
WHY?
Natural ResourcesClustered around
ports & fresh water sources,
Flat & fertile land as well.
WHY?
Factors influencing where people settle: Physical Factors
Bodies of Water2/3’s of population
live within 500 miles of the ocean.
WHY?
Landforms8 of 10 largest cities
along fault linesFewer people live in
mountainous, dry, cold, or extremely wet areas.
WHY?
Factors influencing where people settle: Human Factors
Level of TechnologyHigher the level of
technology = more people free to explore & settle new areas.
Transportation RoutesNew routes leads to
new settlements Ex. Railroad opened
up the Western United States to more settlement.
Factors influencing where people settle: Human Factors
UrbanizationIncrease in
urbanization leads to increase in population in areas around cities.
Economic ActivitiesNew economic
opportunities bring people to new areas. Ex. California gold
rush (1849) brings a large influx of people to California & western states.

Patterns in Size & Distribution of Cities
Demographer
Studies characteristics of populations & where people settle. Ex.: males, females, ages- population pyramids Can tell if society is healthy with good health care=
longer life expectancy.
Distributions of CitiesCBD- central business districtResidential= possibly lower
income housingSuburbs= outside of city-
formed “satellite cities” and when join= metropolitan area or region.
Squatter settlements- less educated & few resources. People who move to city who
can’t afford to live in the city- use plywood, metal, & plastic sheets to make housing/buildings= shantytowns
CBD
Squatter Settleme
nts
Residential
Suburbs*developed around business district*wealthier moved to suburbs – commuted. This is reversing now in some big cities
URBAN PATTERNS
City Center best known area, most visually distinctive
San Francisco, London original site of settlement
Central Business District retail & office space assessable often a focal point with skyscrapers specialized stores for the office workers
URBAN PATTERNSZones in Transition
mixed use with light industry transition from business to residential older neighborhoods (slums)
home to ethnic groups not culturally integrated ghettos vs. ethnic neighborhood
Suburbs residential nodes of retail services
GROWTH OF THE CITY
Skyscrapers - using vertical space intensive use of land
shops at street level professional offices at higher levels
Outward Expansion advent of the automobile & transportation routes decline of public transport
OUTWARD EXPANSION (con’t)Squatter Settlements - illegally erected
shacks, cardboard structures and tents, due to rapid growth in cities of developing countries
De-urbanization of the City suburbanism - legally independent cities cluster cities rural areas- preferable to urban lifestyle telecommuting - economic activity from a
distance
Agenda

1. In which zone will you find a variety of weather?
A. Temperate
B. Tropic
C. Longitudinal
D. Polar
2. What would happen if there was no tilt of the earth?
A. The earth would not rotate on its axis.
B. There would be no seasons.
C. Day and night would be the same length everywhere on earth, all year long.
D. The earth would be pulled closer to the sun.
3.
Trends in World Population
Once agriculture discovered population grew gradually.
After 1700’s – Industrial Revolution= new farming techniques & modern science lead to fast increase in Europe’s population. When European’s conquered/colonized areas all over
the world bringing new ideas leads to population explosion.
Since WWII (1940’s) in Asia, Africa, & Latin America populations have risen dramatically.
Trend’s continued
1700- .5 billion people
1850- 1 billion1900- 1.5 billion1950- 2.5 billion1970- 4 billion2000- 6.1 billion2011- 7 billion
Some countries/areas are struggling to reduce birth rates & get growth under control because it is straining their economies & societies.
Grab a computer and log inLog on to the internet make sure it is CCISD
wireless. http://projectsharetexas.comOnce there go to Mr. Cook to get your log in
information. The password is sandcrabs When you log on it will have you create two security
questions make sure you remember exactly how you answered them (including capital letters!)
Once you have finished that STOP.
Now click on courses. You will have an invitation click on the green
check mark on the right hand side to accept the invitation to World Geography.
It will ask you to accept your name and role, just click accept do not change anything on that screen.
STOP
Now you will be taken to the World Geography site.
Click on Lessons on the left hand side. When the lessons load scroll down to the
Urbanization: Growth of Cities Lesson. Click on it and when it loads go through the
lesson, make sure to read, view the pictures & video clips (headphones if you got them).
If you do not finish we will tomorrow we will finish the lesson and take the exam on it in class.
