A town is a human settlement which is a place where people live. It refers to the totality of human community with all the social, material, organizational, spiritual, and cultural elements that sustain it.[1] Towns are generally larger than villages and smaller than cities, though the criteria to distinguish between them vary considerably in different parts of the world.
