Village
Small, rural settlement
Fewer buildings (family houses) and more natural surroundings
Located in the countryside,
centred around agricultural activities (farming, animal husbandry)
Small, close-knit communities where everyone knows each other
More traditional and family-oriented with a slower pace of life and a
stronger sense of community
Lack of work possibilities, access to certain services and facilities,
and a lack of diversity but rich in traditions: people celebrate various
events like religious festivals, and cultural events together,
Opportunity for hiking, fishing, and other outdoor activities, direct
connection to nature may be extremely refreshing and healing
a simpler, more sustainable way of life
City
Larger urban settlement
Large skyscrapers (flats), bustling streets, and modern infrastructure,
including transportation systems, hospitals, schools, and shopping
centres
Centres of
commerce, industry, and innovation
People from different cultural and social backgrounds living and working
together
Fast-paced and more individualistic, with people often focused on their
careers and personal goals
Many options to build their careers, and there are entertainment
venues: cinemas, theatres, museums, restaurants
Melting pots of ideas, traditions, and perspectives, diversity is reflected
in the city's food, music, art, and architecture,
Vibrant nightlife and social scene
high cost of living, cities' size and complexity can be overwhelming
strong feeling of community, sense of belonging and friendship people might feel alone and disconnected from their surroundings
