Urban areas in Sweden
Urban area is a common English translation of the Swedish term ''tätort''. The official term in English, used by Statistics Sweden, is however locality. They could be compared with ''census-designated places'' in the United States.
A ''tätort'' in Sweden has a minimum of 200 inhabitants and may be a city, town or larger village.〔 But it is a purely statistical concept, not defined by any municipal or county boundaries.〔〔 Urban areas referred to as cities or towns ((スウェーデン語:stad)) for statistical purposes have a minimum of 10,000 inhabitants.〔Statistics Sweden. (Be 16 SM 9601 ), Tätorter 1995, p. 2: "Towns (localities with more than 10,000 inhabitants)".〕 In 2010 there was 1,956 urban areas in Sweden, covering 85 per cent of the Swedish population.〔
==History==
Up until the beginning of the 20th century, only the cities were regarded as urban areas. The built-up area and the municipal entity were normally almost congruent. Urbanization and industrialization created, however, many new settlements without formal city status. New suburbs grew up just outside city limits, being ''de facto'' urban but ''de jure'' rural. This was of course a statistical problem. The census of 1910 introduced the concept of "densely populated localities in the countryside". The term ''tätort'' (literally "dense place") was introduced in 1930. The municipal amalgamations placed more and more rural areas within city municipalities, which was the other side of the same problem. The administrative boundaries were in fact not suitable for defining rural and urban populations. From 1950 rural and urban areas had to be separated even within city limits, as e.g. the huge wilderness around Kiruna had been declared a "city" in 1948. From 1965 only ''non-administrative localities'' are counted, independently of municipal and county borders. In 1971 ''city'' was abolished as a type of municipality.
