I am not sure I agree with Ruhrjung's edit changing description of Kauniainen from a "city" to a "small town". Yes, at ~8k inhabitants probably doesn't fit with what is usually understood as a city, but there is a strong historical background for appropriately terming Kauniainen a city. In Finland we have a distinction between standard municipalities and those that have earned the right to use the title city. My understanding is that this is mostly symbolic with no legal differentiation. Thus Kauniainen was founded in 1906, in 1920 it acquired the title of a "kauppala" (would translate as a "small market town") and then in 1972 the title city. I would prefer to reverse the edit to "small town" as the ~8k inhabitants is sufficient to bring out the small town flavour. - Tuomas Toivonen 11:49 5 Jul 2003 (UTC)
