How level services characterized grade B, centre and there were no se" - "In this work, the existing settlement pattern in the Central Region was examined with a view to recommending changes, if necessary, so that the disparities in living conditions and opportunities that now exist between one region and others and between the villages and towns can be corrected and the problem of urbanisation can be minimised.
