Urban-rural typologies are usually very differently defined and case specific, but there are also a few, more widely used typologies at European scale. These typologies are however too coarse to be used in a national or regional context. In this note four typologies from the OECD, DG Regio, Eurostat and ESPON are compared and downscaled to the level of Danish municipalities to get a sharper picture of the urban-rural structure in Denmark. The downscaled typologies are consistent, easy to reproduce and can be used for analyses of the development in urban-rural space.
