Grid Settlements:

The grid plan, grid street plan, or gridiron plan is a type of city plan in

which streets run at right angles to each other, forming a grid. The
infrastructure cost for regular grid patterns is generally higher than for
patterns with discontinuous streets.
Costs for streets depend largely on four variables: street width, street
length, block width and pavement width. Two inherent characteristics of
the grid plan, frequent intersections and orthogonal geometry,
facilitate pedestrian movement. The geometry helps with orientation
and wayfinding and its frequent intersections with the choice and
directness of route to desired destinations.
A grid is a network of intersecting parallel lines, whether real or
imaginary. Most American streets are laid out in a grid pattern, meaning
the streets intersect at right angles and form a pattern of squares when
viewed from above.

Dispersed Settlements:
A dispersed settlement is the scattered pattern of households in a
particular area. This form of settlement is common in the world's rural
regions. The settlement pattern contrasts those found in nucleated
villages.
Also known as a scattered settlement, it is one of the main types
of settlement patterns used by landscape historians to
classify rural settlements found in England and other parts of the world.
Typically, there are a number of separate farmsteads scattered
throughout the area.[1] A dispersed settlement contrasts with a nucleated
village.
In addition to Western Europe, dispersed patterns of settlement are
found in parts of Papua New Guinea, as among the Gainj, Ankave, and
Baining tribes. It is also frequently met with in nomadic pastoral
societies.
We can see the dispersed settlements in some parts of England, Italy,
Switzerland and German-speaking Europe and all other agriculture
based residences all over the globe.
