Answer Question

11 Answers - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Depending on the number of inhabitants, human settlements are usually classified as cities, towns or villages. Cities are generally larger and more densely populated than towns and have industrial, commercial and residential areas. Most cities also perform  administrative functions. A town in smaller than a city but larger than village, it has smaller areas as a market, commercial and administrative hubs for the surrounding countryside and villages. Their population is generally smaller than the cities.

    Location and history of a place also plays a part in it being designated as a City or a Town.
    In densely populated countries like India and China, many towns are larger than the state and national capitals of many sparsely populated countries.Villages are small rural settlements largely dependent on agriculture, tourism or a specialized skill.

    What about town

    Fullon if you dont really know the answer just dont blurt out anything, Cities are incorporated, meaning they have a govt, mayor, city council, ect. It has nothing to do with population or anything else. Towns and villages have no govt. There is no legally defined difference between a village and a town, but generally a village is a small rural area lightly populated. A town would be more densly populated with stores and other services, but not defined.

          Many towns and villages today are nothing more than suburbs, however some do exist. By definition cities have larger populations than towns which are larger than vilages. Cities are 10,000 to 30,000 people or more. Villages typically have historic significance and are either "former villages" which may have been the founding area of a larger city of which it is now one part. Distinct villages today retain their status for marketing or identity purposes or even to avoid higher tax rates. Some have building/architecture restrictions more stringent than larger communities. The definition of a town varies widely but is about 1,000 up to 10,000 people.

            There are many differences in village and a town e.g are a village has clean air while the air in the town is polluted.Also in the village there is a more back to nature feeling.
