I don't have time to fix it properly at the moment, but the factual accuracy of this article leaves much to be desired: A bit of Googling doesn't reveal usage of the terms "rural village" and "urban village" in English, and the English version of the Local Government Act seems to make no distinction between the two. The Chinese-language version of the law defines the differences, and they don't quite match what is said here. Here are the links if someone would help correct the article:

• Chinese version of the Local Government Act, Chapter 1, Article 3
• English version of the Local Government Act, Chapter 1

In the eng version, the only relevant bit is:

Townships, county-administered cities, and districts are subdivided into villages. Villages are subdivided into neighborhoods. Indeed, it doesn't make difference of the two.

鄉以內之編組為村；鎮、縣轄市及區以內之編組為里。村、里 (以下稱村 (里) ) 以內之編組為鄰。

The chinese part does make difference of 村 and 里, I will try to search if there are official translations of the two. 21:31, 5 November 2012 (UTC)
