List of cities and towns in Greenland
This is a list of cities, towns and settlements in Greenland as of 2010. The term 'city' hardly applies to any populated area in Greenland, given that the most populated place is Nuuk, the capital, with 15,469 inhabitants. In Greenland two kinds of settled areas are distinguished: by (Danish for 'town') and bygd (Danish for 'settlement'). 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 2010, Greenland has 56,215 people living along it's coast and many islands. There are no inland settlements or towns in Greenland.
