List of cities and towns in Greenland
This is a list of cities and towns in Greenland as of 2020. The term 'city' is loosely for any populated area in Greenland, given that the most populated place is Nuuk, the capital, with 18,326 inhabitants. In Greenland two kinds of settled areas are distinguished: illoqarfik and nunaqarfik. The difference between the two decreased since the new administrative units were introduced in 2009, with the influence of previous municipality centers decreasing.
As of January 2020, Greenland has 56,081 people living along the coast and many islands. There are no permanent human landlocked settlements or towns in Greenland; the only landlocked human settlements that exist are seasonal research stations.
