  General Description  
There were four main settlement types during the Old Babylonian period: large cities, secondary provincial cities, smaller towns, and villages. [1] [2]
While the temples still held great importance as in previous polities, the state administration of the entire state was under control of the king. However, over the course of this period imperial control over surrounding regions began to break down, increasing the number of small autonomous states who began competing with each other for other cities.
