		The first ever model village was built in Buckinghamshire in the 1920s, so even if the idea has been exported, they are an English invention.

		Once the idea to renovate the houses was accepted, a development committee comprised of village leaders was established to administer and run the project.

	Village chicken production systems in rural Africa

		Over the past several decades, however, many towns have seen a trend toward development in a style that is inconsistent with the Cape's historic village center, and some towns have felt a direct impact to the economic vitality of their "downtowns." This is the result of many independent factors.
		Thus, one of the principal objectives of this regulation is the development and re-development of village centers in concert with historic and accepted development practices and styles.
		It is recommended that these uses include commercial, as opposed to industrial, uses that will assist the town to strengthen its village centers either by attracting new commercial activities or encouraging the expansion of existing activities that have been successful in restoring or otherwise aiding the development of the village center.
