In
Norse/Norwegian
tun means the (grassy) place between the farm houses.
In
Old English and Early and Middle
Scots, the word
ton,
toun, etc. could refer to kinds of settlements as diverse as agricultural estates and holdings, partly picking up the Norse sense (as in the Scots word
fermtoun) at one end of the scale, to fortified municipality at the other. If there was ever properly any distinction between
toun (fortified municipality) and
burgh (unfortified municipality), it did not last in practice as
burghs and
touns developed. For example "Edina Burgh" or "Edinburgh" (called a city today) was built around a fort and eventually came to have a defensive wall.

Chile
In
Chile towns are defined by the National Statistics Institute (INE) as an urban entity with a population from 2001 to 5000 or an area with a population from 1001 to 2000 and an established economic activity.
Denmark
In
Denmark no distinction is made between "city", "town" and "village"; all three translate as "by".
For small villages and
hamlets the word "landsby" is used (appropriately. "country town" or "rural town"). For statistical purposes only such urban areas having at least 200 inhabitants are counted as "by".
[3].
Historically some towns held various privileges, the most important of which was the right to hold market. They were administered separately from the rural areas in both fiscal, military and legal matters. Such towns are known as "købstad" (roughly the same meaning as "borough" albeit deriving from a different etymology) and they retain the exclusive right to the title even after the last vestiges of their privileges vanished through the reform of the local administration carried through in 1970.

These provisions affect the replacement of the boroughs, Towns and urban districts which existed before then. Similar reforms in the nomenclature of local authorities ( but not their functions) are effected by section 11 part 17 of the act includes provision (section 185(2)) Qualified electors of a town having a population of at least 7,500 as ascertained at the last preceding census or such other figure as the Minister may from time to time prescribe by regulations, and not having a town council, may make a proposal in accordance with paragraph (b) for the establishment of such a council and contains provisions enabling the establishment of new town councils and provisions enabling the dissolution of existing or new town councils in certain circumstances

Another reference to the Census and its role in determining what is or is not a town for some administrative purpose is in the Planning and Development act 2000 (part II chapter I which provides for Local area plans)
A local area plan shall be made in respect of an area which —(i) is designated as a town in the most recent census of population, other than a town designated as a suburb or environs in that census, (ii) has a population in excess of 2,000, and (iii) is situated within the functional area of a planning authority which is a county council.

Iran
In contemporary

However, in recent 50 years, this word has become obsolete.
There is a word in Persian which is used for special sort of satellite townships and city neighborhoods. It is
Shahrak (شهرک), (lit.: small city). Another smaller type of town or
neighborhood in a big city is called
Kuy (کوی).
Shahrak and
Kuy each have their different legal definitions. Large cities such as
Tehran,
Mashhad,
Isfahan,
Tabriz, etc. which have millions of populations are referred to as
Kalan-shahrکلانشهر (
metropole).
The pace in which different large villages have gained city status in
Iran shows a dramatic increase in the last two decades.
Bigger cities and towns usually are centers of a
township (in Persian:
Shahrestan (شهرستان). Shahrestan itself is a subdivision of
Ostan استان (Province).
Latvia
In
Latvia, towns and cities are indiscriminately called
pilsēta in singular form. The name is a
contraction of two Latvian words:
pils (castle) and
sēta (fence), making it very obvious what is meant by the word - what is situated between the castle and the castle fence. A village is called
ciemats or
ciems in Latvian.
Lithuania
In
Lithuania, towns are named
miestelis or
miestas. Cities are named
didmiestis.
Villages are named
kaimas or
vienkiemis.
Netherlands
In the
Netherlands no distinction is made between "city" and "town"; both translate as "stad".
Before 1848 there was a legal distinction between stad and non-stad parts of the country, but the word no longer has any legal significance.

Sweden canceled the official legal term Town (in Swedish: Stad) in the year 1971. Only the word
Municipality (in Swedish: Kommun. In US English approximately
