Cities and Towns

Cities and towns are human settlements that vary mainly in size and population. Cities are larger, more densely populated areas with extensive infrastructure, services, and economic activities, often serving as regional or national hubs. Towns are generally smaller communities with a closer-knit population, fewer buildings, and simpler services. Both have defined boundaries and local governance, but cities tend to have more complex administrative structures. The distinction often depends on legal definitions, population size, and regional importance, but both serve as centers for community life, commerce, and culture.
