A named area, settlement or population centre where people live and/or work.

Description

A populated place is identifiable within its surrounding environment and/or has a distinct identity or function from any other neighbouring, contiguous or encompassing populated places. It may be formally or informally delineated. Examples of a populated place are a city, a town, a village, a community, a suburb, or an agglomeration of buildings. An administrative division incorporated and designated as a city or town may or may not be contiguous to a populated place carrying the same name. A populated place does not represent the physical characteristics of the structures and spaces within it.
