Nordic Urban–Rural Typology

The Nordic urban–rural typology is a grid-based classification of areas developed by the Nordic Thematic Groups 2021–2024 to enable more accurate cross-Nordic statistical comparisons. The seven classes are defined based on population density, proximity measures and land cover parameters.
