Keywords
Commuter settlement - a place, often a town or village, where people live and then travel to other places, normally a city, for work
Accessible - easy to get to and from
Interdependent - close ties or links between two or more entities or areas
Common misconception
Urban areas have more facilities and services than rural areas. As a result, rural areas can offer cities little in return.
Rural areas can offer the residents of urban areas a source of labour and produce. They can provide jobs in industries such as agriculture and opportunities for recreation and leisure.
Teacher tip
Google Street View provides good opportunities for further investigating the functions of villages like Aughton.
