ABSTRACT
This chapter will discuss the connectivity of the main cities in the Nordic countries (Norden). Modern urbanization in the Nordic countries was comparatively late, starting from the middle of the 19th century (Johansen, 2005; Clark, 2009). In 1850 Denmark was the exception to the other Nordic countries with 10 per cent of its population living in the capital region of Copenhagen compared with 1–3 per cent in Finland, Norway and Sweden (Johansen, 2005, p169).
