Urban areas in Finland

In Finland, an urban area (Finnish: taajama, Swedish: tätort) is defined as a cluster of dwellings with at least 200 inhabitants and may be a city, town or larger village.

It is a purely statistical concept, not defined by any municipal or county boundaries.

The second largest is the Tampere urban area with about 342,000 inhabitants in 2019,[2] and the third largest is the Turku urban area with about 278,000 inhabitants in 2019.

[2] The presence of urban areas is used to regulate traffic, with a default of 50 kilometres per hour (31 mph) speed limit inside an urban area and 80 kilometres per hour (50 mph) outside.
