| Abstract: | "There has been a clear tendency to decreasing population density and increasing rate of primary output in urban municipalities in Finland in the 20th century. It is a commonly known fact that this tendency is caused by some rural municipalities changing their status to urban municipalities and by some rural municipalities incorporating urban municipalities.... In this article urban regions have been created, which are quite the] same as urban municipality districts in Finland today. In these regions population density has increased in contrast to urban municipalities each year of compiling these statistics." (EXCERPT) |
