The township or village economy defined

The “township economy” generally refers to all the economic activities occurring in formally promulgated urban areas known as townships. This encompasses the production, distribution, exchange and consumption of goods and services. It is a spatial concept, unlike that of the informal economy, which refers to unregulated economic activities irrespective of their location.
