Three new agglomerations and 10 more towns than 10 years ago: urbanisation continues in Switzerland

Neuchâtel, 18.12.2014 (FSO) - 73% of Switzerland's inhabitants live in agglomerations which consist of core cities and peripheral communes. This value is calculated on the basis of a new statistical definition for areas with urban character developed by the Federal Statistical Office (FSO).
