Settlements

The settlement pattern is typically European, with people living in villages, towns, and four major cities (Tallinn, Tartu, Narva, and Köhlta Jarve). Since the late 1920s houses in rural areas have been constructed of bricks, rather than the traditional wood, so as to conserve timber resources.
