Permanent settlements

Permanent settlements are communities where people establish long-term homes, often supported by established infrastructure, governance, and resources. Unlike temporary or nomadic groups, these settlements develop over time into organized towns or cities with permanent buildings, markets, and social systems. They provide stability for residents, foster economic activities, and enable efficient use of land and resources. Permanent settlements are fundamental to the development of civilizations, allowing populations to grow, innovate, and engage in complex social and economic interactions.
