Should point out that from what Ive heard, Nationalencyklopedin states there are 133 historical cities in Sweden. I can only guess why, but I think it may be becayse they count Skanör and Falsterbo as one city ( Skanör-Falsterbo). IMO it is purely a matter of definition.

In what way is a Stad not a town? 84.144.48.33 21:49, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
I think something about this needs to be mentioned, however, I'm not even sure about the right English word... Gunnar Larsson 18:38, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
City isn't really a translation of (in Swedish) "Stad". Sure, (in Swedish) "Jag bor i en stad" would translate to "I live in a city"; but the meaning of "stad" in this article is not at all the same as the English "city". / Fred- J 16:22, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
Someone has proposed that this article should be merged into Municipalities of Sweden. I don´t think that's a good idea. Since 1971 a stad (city or town in Swedish) is NOT a type of municipality, but a non-administrative built-up area. Therefore the article could just as well be merged into Urban areas of Sweden. As this fact still seems to be hard to understand for some I think a separate article describing it is necessary. -- Muniswede ( talk) 23:20, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
