Concept information
Preferred term
small towns
Definition
- 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.
