“…A study comparing the spatial distribution of the Nordic population at the 1,000 × 1,000 metre grid level from 2008 to 2017 showed that the number of inhabited grids has declined in all Nordic countries. Along with the observation that there was a remarkably higher proportion of re cently abandoned than recently inhabited grid cells across the Nordic Region, this trend indicates an ongoing process of urbanisation (Stjernberg & Penje, 2019). An urban area in the Nordic Region is defined as a settlement having at least 200 indi viduals living within 200 metres of each other (or within 50 metres in Norway).…”

“…The process of urbanisation can be attributed to the prevailing flows of internal rural-to-urban migration, and im migration that is often congregated in urban areas. The trend towards increasing population concen trations in urban areas is expected to continue across the Nordic Region until 2030 (Sánchez Gas sen, 2018; Sánchez Gassen & Heleniak, 2019; see also Stjernberg & Penje, 2019). Internal mobility within Nordic countries is characterised by the redistribution of young adults from peripheral areas towards urban cen tres (Heleniak, 2020).…”

“…In a recent study of the Nordic countries using grid-level statistics, population dynamics were highlighted, showing that even though some municipalities are shrinking, there are often growing cells in the urban settlements (Stjernberg and Penje, 2019). This indicates that densification is also occurring in some shrinking municipalities, or at least there is a movement of people into the urban cores of these areas.…”

“…In the light of urbanisation processes throughout the Nordic Region, it can be observed that there are parallel, ongoing population dynamics within municipalities -where, for instance, municipalities experience population decline at the municipal level and population growth in certain other areas, such as the city core, within the municipality (Stjernberg & Penje, 2019).…”

Sustainable rural development. 2. Innovative and resilient regions.3. Sustainable cities and urban development.The groups have been set up by the Nordic Committee of Senior Officials for Regional Policy (EK-R), under the Nordic Council of Ministers for Sustainable Growth. Members are representatives of the relevant ministries, national authorities, regional authorities and cross-border cooperation committees.This report is part of the Transport for Regional Integration in Border Regions (TRIBORDER) project. TRIBORDER consists of three elements which all fall under the theme of Sustainable Cities and Urban Development. The purpose of TRIBORDER is to analyse the potential challenges of planning and developing transport connections in three cross-border areas of the Nordic Region. Part One focuses on how small-and medium-sized cities in Värmland and Østfold can benefit from the introduction of a high-speed train connection between Oslo and Stockholm.Part Two focuses on the Kvarken Region and the effects of the Umeå-Vaasa ferry connection on their surrounding regions. And Part Three, which this report is an outcome from, focuses on accessibility to and from small-and medium-sized cities in the cross-border context of the Greater Copenhagen Region.The topic of the report is an important part of a Nordic agenda concerned with strengthening cohesive border regions that promote development, innovation, and growth (Nordic Council of Ministers, 2017). The border committees in these three areas are active partners in these projects, along with Nordregio and members of the thematic group on Sustainable Cities and Urban Development. The issues of integrated transportation were re-emphasised in Spring 2020, when the Nordic Council announced that it wanted to strengthen the Nordic countries' cooperation around transport. (Nordic Council of Ministers, 2020).
