Abstract

Europe is highly urbanised. Over 70 % of Europeans live in cities with at least 5 000 inhabitants (ESPON TOWN, 2014). While many live in the big cities, small and medium-sized towns (SMSTs, i.e. towns with between 5 000 and 50 000 inhabitants) comprise an important part of the urban structure in Europe. The ESPON TOWN report (2014) underlined the significance of SMSTs for European territorial development. This spin-off provides supporting knowledge and evidence on the state and development of 111 SMSTs in Denmark.
