!!!Verstädterung

Urbanisation, the spread of urban forms of settlement. In Austria the 
percentage of persons living in communities of up to 2,500 inhabitants 
declined from 32.7 % in 1961 to 28,4 % in 1991; it is to be 
noted, however, that many communities, especially in Carinthia and 
Lower Austria, were merged to form larger municipalities. At the same 
time, the number of persons living in small and medium-sized towns 
increased sharply during the period under consideration. Approximately 
40% more Austrians now live in municipalities with between 5,000 and 
10,000 inhabitants than did in 1961, while the provincial capitals 
increased, on average, by 32.3%. Growth was fastest in the suburban 
districts around the provincial capitals and Vienna. In the district 
of Salzburg-Land the number of inhabitants increased by 66.6% between 
1961 and 1991, in Innsbruck-Land the increase was 64.0% and in the 
districts around Linz (Linz-Land and Eferding) by 50,1 %.
