Something to think about. Do you prefer a agricultural or a manufactured style of living? Do you wish to make a living as a farmer, herder, fisherman, and occupation along those lines? If so, go village. If you wish to manufacture goods, if you wish to be a merchant, aspire to be a craftsman, I suggest the town path.
If you've decided which route to take then tell me, and I'll list out what to include in your essay.
