Settlements tells you about: what people live in, from tents to huge blocks of flats; how most people in the world now live in towns and cities; where children play and adults relax; how food and water get from the country to the people who need it.

Activity panels encourage children to get involved hands-on in finding out more information. Case studies provide essential real-life examples.
