TOWNS AND VILLAGE

Towns and villages are both types of human settlements, but they differ in size, population, and function.

A town is typically larger than a village, with a more developed infrastructure, such as roads, markets, schools, and hospitals. Towns often serve as commercial, administrative, or service centers for surrounding areas, offering a wider range of economic and social opportunities. They can have a few thousand to tens of thousands of people living in them.

A village, on the other hand, is a smaller settlement, usually with a rural character. Villages have fewer amenities, and the population is generally smaller, often consisting of a few hundred to a couple of thousand people. The economy in villages is often centered around agriculture, small-scale trades, or crafts.

Both towns and villages play essential roles in the broader community, with villages often providing the raw materials and agricultural products that support urban centers.
