The assigned settlement near the refinery and oil terminal is known as Brega. The town was built in pre-fabricated concrete parts and designed by Greek architect and urban planner [[Konstantinos Apostolos Doxiadis]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://archive.doxiadis.org/document.asp?doc_id=9524 |title=Constantinos A. Doxiadis Archives |year=2011 |accessdate=March 2, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110726003239/http://archive.doxiadis.org/document.asp?doc_id=9524# |archive-date=2011-07-26 |url-status=dead }}</ref> The town has about 7,000 inhabitants.
In reality, Brega consists of several urban settlements, several kilometres apart, mainly divided between ''Old Brega'' (or "Western Brega") and ''New Brega'' (or "Eastern Brega"). Adjacent to and south-west of the port, equally two kilometres north of the airport, lies "Area 1". Some 6 kilometres to the east, on the other side of the hydro-carbon complex, lies "Area 2". The original settlement of Brega, now partly abandoned, lies some kilometres to the south, to the south of the highway linking western and eastern Libya.<ref>http://wikimapia.org/#lat=30.4315057&lon=19.6593475&z=12&l=53&m=b&v=8</ref> 10 kilometres to the north-east of "Area 2" lies ''New Brega'', a new settlement specifically built as a housing area for oil workers.<ref>{{cite web|url=
In between "Area 2" and ''New Brega'' (with lots of sand in between them) lies ''Al-Najm University of Technology'' ("Bright Star University of Technology"), which was founded in 1981.<ref>http://www.university-directory.eu/Libya/Bright-Star-University-of-Technology-Brega.html</ref><ref>http://wikimapia.org/2062806/Bright-Star-University-of-Technology-جامعة-النجم-الساطع</ref>
