the structural principle of continuity is vital in the design of settlement. In your own words:
(a) Motivate the necessity for the continuity of green spaces in a human settlement
(6)
(b) Motivate the necessity for the continuity of movement with a human settlement
(6)
(c) Explain in which circumstances the structural principle of "Discontinuity of Movement"
would be desirable in the design of settlements.
