List Of Towns In Switzerland
Below is a list of towns and cities in Switzerland. Until 2014 municipalities with more than 10,000 inhabitants were considered to be towns (german: Stadt/Städte, french: ville(s), it, città). Since 2014, the Federal Statistical Office (FSO) uses a new algorithm (called german: Statistische Städte 2012, or french: Villes statistiques 2012) to define whether a municipality can be called a town or not; it now also depends on its character. Currently, FSO considers 162 municipalities as towns/cities (german: Statistische Städte, french: Villes statistiques) in Switzerland. Further, some municipalities which would fulfill such a definition nevertheless prefer to understand themselves still as a village, or consequently refer to themselves just as municipalities (german: Gemeinde, french: commune, it, comune). The Swiss definition of a town differs from the definition of a municipality. List of towns and cities This is an alphabetical list of towns or cities (these English term ...
