"From the City to the Village" was a movement established in the early fifties of the 20th century by Israeli Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion, to "stimulate outreach activities to encourage the transition of old residents from urban settlements to the agricultural settlements".
The movement operated within the moshavim movement and within two years led to the absorption of about 800 new families in existing moshavim and the establishment of ten new moshavim where another 800 families settled.
