Yes, but we've never played it. We have a variant, Carcassonne: Hunters & Gatherers, which is based in prehistoric times. The players place tiles to gradually build up a map of a territory, which they can use to fish, hunt, and claim woods and mountains. I presume the original is based on similar gameplay, but with the players building up a mediaeval walled city. Carcassonne is a prime example of this, we walked round it several times to explore the many levels of fortification and defensive structures.

This is a very good game. My East of London fan friends Mary and Melica have a set. You may recognise them from my parties or Eastercon.

It's more a series of walled cities.....

Cities for forests.
Road for streams
Farmers for hunters.

Hunters and gathers is a much better game to my mind..... smoothed out the wrinkles....
