Imagine you found yourself on an island. Where would you go? How would you get around? How would you know where places are? Over time, what would happen? Where would you live? How would your settlememt start to exist and grow?
Travelling tribes is all about the skills and changes that happen in human settlements. Compass directions tells us where places are, relative to each other. Settlements themselves grow up in certain places depending on their situation, usually because of physical geography. We can identify these on a map using contour lines. Because not all places are equal, there is movement of people, goods and money between these places so flows and networks start to develop. Where these build up quickly, your settlement can grow very quickly into a city, like London. Or Langley. Or Southall. Or Hownslow. Or is it just Heathrow? |
