Population geography is the study of the ways in which spatial variations in the distribution, composition, migration, and growth of populations are related to the nature of places. It focuses on the characteristics of population distributions that change in a spatial context. Settlement geography focuses on population clusters, why they arose, and what sustains them. It studies about human land, water and resource use, population density patterns, and settlement growth. It is essential to urban planning and urban redesign.

Illustrated with a wide range of case studies drawn from all parts of the world, this book clearly depicts the cause-and-effect links between demographic change and the socio-economic transformation of societies. Providing timely information in a clear and accessible style, the book will be an ideal classroom text for instructors who are introducing their students to the topics of population and settlement geography.
