Urban growth and development have always been associated with specific nodes in an urban system. This association, however, does not make much sense in a world where the functional areas of many large cities have merged to form continuous urban landscapes. When more than 85% of a country's population is urbanized, the process of urbanization as commonly understood has come

in Danish Territorier, stater og nationer har stadig stor betydning. Selvom Europa pa overfladen kan se ud som en overskuelig politisk geografi af suveraene stater, er der i virkeligheden tale om et kompliceret kludetaeppe af formelle og uformelle graenser og overlappende territorier. Nutidens Europa minder pa mange mader om middelalderens komplicerede politiske geografi. Territorium, stat og nation giver et grundlag for at forsta og diskutere politisk-geografiske sporgsmal. Bogen retter sig isaer mod studerende med interesse for politisk geografi, men kan ogsa bruges inden for beslaegtede fag som historie og samfundsfag samt i tvaerfaglige samarbejder i gymnasieskolen. Laesere med interesse for de politisk-geografiske sporgsmal, der indgar i den daglige nyhedsstrom, kan ligeledes have glaede af bogen. (Less)

ABSTRACT Problems relating to immigration and immigrants have become of increasing political and public interest within Denmark in recent years. In an international perspective the number of immigrants as well as the problems associated are small and insignificant, and the actual knowledge and research in immigrant problems is limited. However immigrants or foreigners are «hot» political «stuff» and the lack of actual knowledge is unscrupulously «used». The present article attempts to gather some factual information on immigrants in Denmark. Furthermore it attempts to show how housing policy deliberately as well as accidentally influences immigrant location and thus the public perception of the «problem».
