List Of Towns In Greenland

This is a list of cities and towns in Greenland as of 2021. The term 'city' is used loosely for any populated area in Greenland, given that the most populated place is Nuuk, the capital, with 19,279 inhabitants. In Greenland, two kinds of settled areas are distinguished: ''illoqarfik'' (Greenlandic for 'town'; ''by'' in Danish) and ''nunaqarfik'' (Greenlandic for 'settlement'; ''bygd'' in Danish). The difference between the two decreased since the new administrative units were introduced in 2009, with the influence of previous municipality centers decreasing.

As of October 2021, Greenland has 56,523 people living along the coast and many islands. There are no permanent human inland settlements or towns in Greenland; the only inland human settlements that exist are seasonal research stations.
