village layout
Settlement spatial arrangement
Village layout refers to the spatial arrangement of buildings, roads, and public spaces within a village.
Urban planners and historians study village layouts to understand settlement patterns, social organization, and land use.
Common types include linear villages stretched along a road, clustered villages around a central square, and scattered settlements.
The medieval village layout reflected the agricultural practices of the time.
