List of cities in Sweden
The list of cities in Sweden provides an overview of the development of the population of the larger urban settlements of the state of Sweden , i.e. cities in a geographical sense.
Politically, there are no more cities in Sweden today (Swedish stad ). When a municipal reform came into force on January 1, 1971, 132 places lost their town charter and received - mostly united with the surrounding rural areas, the former rural communities (landskommun) - the status of municipalities (kommun). Today there are a total of 290 municipalities, usually each with several localities without administrative functions in the 21 provinces (län). The term “city” is used here for densely built-up areas with a higher population (Swedish tatort ; a term mainly used for statistical purposes, with more than 200 inhabitants); the population figures in the tables relate accordingly to the respective urban settlement in the geographical sense, i.e. the place of the crime, and not to the municipality in the political sense. Some places as well as 14 municipalities that emerged from earlier cities continued or re-used the term stad in some form in their official name (e.g. Göteborgs Stad ) after 1971 and until today , but this does not mean any legal distinction compared to the other places or municipalities; these locations are marked accordingly in the lists.
Metropolitan areas
The metropolitan regions in Sweden are as defined by the Swedish statistical agency Statistiska centralbyrån as of September 30, 2016:
- Stockholm : 2,260,795 inhabitants (corresponds to the entire province of Stockholm County with 26 municipalities)
- Göteborg : 993,453 inhabitants (includes the twelve municipalities Ale , Alingsås , Gothenburg , Härryda , Kungälv , Lerum , Mölndal , Lilla Edet , Öckerö , Partille , Stenungsund and Tjörn in Västra Götalands län and the municipality Kungsbacka in Hallands län )
- Malmö : 703,920 inhabitants (includes the twelve municipalities Burlöv , Eslöv , Höör , Kävlinge , Lomma , Lund , Malmö , Skurup , Staffanstorp , Svedala , Trelleborg and Vellinge in Skåne län )
This means that 39.8 percent of the country's population is concentrated in these three regions.
List of the greatest perpetrators
The following table contains all perpetrators in Sweden who, according to Statistiska centralbyrån, had at least 20,000 inhabitants as of December 31, 2015, initially sorted in descending order according to this value. Also listed are the population figures for these places, which have been published every five years since 1960 (except 1985) for December 31, as well as the province to which the place belongs.
Unless otherwise stated in the notes, all places in this list had the status of a city until the municipal reform of 1971 . Thus, 52 of the previous 132 cities had more than 20,000 inhabitants as independent perpetrators in 2015.

List of other previous cities
The following table contains all places in Sweden that had city rights until the administrative reform in 1971 (stad), are currently independent perpetrators, but have fewer than 20,000 inhabitants and are therefore not included in the above list (as of December 31, 2015, initially in descending order Population sorted). 73 of the 132 cities fall into this category. It also lists the maximum number of inhabitants published every five years (except 1985) for the period from 1960 onwards and the relevant year (31 December each year), unless the current value is the highest, and the province to which the village belongs.
Seven of the towns that had city rights before 1971 are no longer independent perpetrators, but have grown together with others and merged with them. Unless otherwise noted, this already happened with the introduction of the concept of crime in 1960:
- Djursholm ( Stockholm County ): since 1971 the main town of Danderyd municipality , part of the Stockholm crime scene
- Huskvarna ( Jönköping County ): 1971 in Jönköping risen
- Kungsbacka ( Halland ): 2015 in Gothenburg risen
- Mölndal * ( Västra Götalands län ): since 1971 the capital of the municipality of Mölndal , part of the Gothenburg crime scene
- Nacka (Stockholm County): since 1971 the main town of the municipality of Nacka , part of the Stockholm crime scene
- Solna * (Stockholm County): since 1971 forms the municipality of Solna , part of the Stockholm crime scene
- Sundbyberg * (Stockholms län): since 1971 forms the municipality of Sundbyberg , part of the Stockholm crime scene
Remarks
- * Associated municipality continues to have the term "Stadt" (stad) in its name
- ** Tatort continues to use the term "Stadt" (stad) in its official full name
- ↑ When the previous municipal reform came into effect on January 1, 1952, 133 towns had the status of stad. Of these, the city of Öregrund (in Stockholm County ) was already on January 1, 1967 in the city of Östhammar .
- ↑ partly in Halland
- ↑ Formed in 2015, mainly from Sollentuna (before 1971 Minderstadt / köping, 1960 21,237 inhabitants, 1990 47,835 inhabitants, from 1995 part of the crime scene Stockholm ) and Upplands Väsby (before 1971 in a rural municipality / landskommun, 1960 5,030 inhabitants, 2010 37,594 inhabitants)
- ↑ in the 1960s to 1970s as a district of Gothenburg , spun off from Gothenburg in 2015
- ↑ a b c d e before 1971 Location in a rural municipality (landskommun)
- ↑ until 2010 as the scene of the crime under the name Ängelholm
- ↑ 2015 formed from several perpetrators who before 1971 all belonged to rural communities / landskommun ; the largest, Torslanda, had 2,119 inhabitants in 1965 and 10,129 in 2005, and in 2010 it belonged to Gothenburg
- ↑ 2015 formed from several perpetrators who before 1971 all belonged to rural communities / landskommun ; the largest, Gustavsberg, had 4,044 inhabitants in 1960 and 11,333 in 2010
- ↑ The strong population decline in the already smallest former town in Sweden can be explained by the fact that in 2015 the greater part of the town was designated as a separate crime scene called Marstrand Arvidsvik . The former town corresponds to the smaller remaining crime scene Marstrand.
