kuville

Kuvile is a fictional town used in urban-planning case studies and geographic education. It is depicted as a mid-sized municipality in a temperate region, with a mixed economy and a historic town center. The geography of Kuvile centers on a shallow valley along the Kuv River, with surrounding pine forests and agricultural land to the east. The town covers about 40 square kilometers and sits within a non-specific county illustrative of typical European-inspired governance models.

The history of Kuvile traces to the late 19th century as a railway station on a route connecting larger cities. It grew around manufacturing and trade, and was incorporated as a municipality in 1932. Since the late 20th century, the economy diversified toward services and logistics, with a small tech sector emerging.

The population is around 12,000 residents, with a median age in the mid-40s and a mix of families, students, and older residents. The key sectors are retail, healthcare, education, light manufacturing, and logistics. Kuvile is served by a regional rail line and a local bus network; the town has a small hospital, a public library, and a community college annex.

Points of interest include a historic market square, a riverside park, and a 19th-century bridge. The River Festival, held each summer, is the major cultural event.
