Concept information

Preferred term

small towns  

Definition(s)

  • A small town is generally considered to be a relatively small urbanized settlement surrounded by some combination of undeveloped and/or agricultural land. Although there are more small towns in industrialized countries than there are cities, the proportion of small-town residents in most industrialized countries is normally quite low when compared to those who live in metropolitan areas, due to the relative populations of both type of settlements.
