Paris was Western Europe's largest city in 1650, with an estimated 400 thousand inhabitants, which is almost double it's population 150 years previously. In second place is London, with 350 thousand inhabitants, however it has grown by a substantially higher rate than Paris during this time, now seven times larger than it was in the year 1500. Naples remains in the top three largest cities, growing from 125 to 300 thousand inhabitants during this time. In the previous list, the Italian cities of Milan and Venice were the only other cities with more than one hundred thousand inhabitants, however in this list they have been joined by the trading centers of Lisbon and Amsterdam, the capital cities of the emerging Portuguese and Dutch maritime empires.

The two files contains respectively a map of driving distances around major and minor cities in Europe. The distance is given by range of 5 km from 5 to 45 km in a resolution of 100m*100m. The encoding is uint8. The metropolitan areas considered in this study are those from this study of functional urban area definition. The corresponding geofile is available at this adress. Most of the cities with more than 50'000 habitants are included, some cities have been removed or added depending on the local context. As the geofile contains only polygones of the metropolitan areas and not the city point, the points form cities with the number of habitants have been dowloaded from Natural Data and then selected by comparison with the polygones. Cities with more than 20'000 have also been selected as commuting center for rural areas. Only the cities outside the metropolitan commuting zones are included. The calculation of driving distances around centers have been performed with OpenRouteService (personal API key required, free of charge).

NOTE: After the reform of social welfare and health care structures in 2023, responsibility for organising social welfare and health care services was transferred to the wellbeing services counties, and the Kuusikko cooperation ended in June 2023 for social welfare and health care services. For this reason, the dataset ends with 2021 data.

Social assistance data for the six largest cities in 2005-2021. Social assistance covers both customers (households and persons) and costs.

Since the beginning of the Kuusikko work, social assistance has been included in the comparisons. Operations started already in 1994 between three cities in the Helsinki metropolitan area, when the first comparison of the number of customers and costs of social assistance was made on the basis of 1993 data. The first five-city income support report was made from 1995 data when Turku and Tampere joined the work. The actual Kuusikko was reached in 2005, when Oulu also participated in income support comparisons.

In 2011, the six cities published the first report on adult social work in the six largest cities. Adult social work reports have focused more on describing the operating environment, operating methods and customer base than other Kuusikko reports. More numerical data have also been added to the 2019 report. However, in the absence of a national definition of adult social work and due to municipality-specific differences in the structures and processes of adult social work, the information available is not always fully comparable between municipalities.

Following the transfer of the granting and payment of basic social assistance to Kela in 2017, the reports on adult social work and social assistance previously published as separate reports have been merged into a single publication. The reports on adult social work and social assistance have been produced in cooperation with the expert working group on adult social work in the six largest cities.

The six cities are made up of the six most populous cities in Finland. In order of population, the six cities include Helsinki, Espoo, Tampere, Vantaa, Oulu and Turku. The Kuusikko working groups compare the health and social services of cities, employment services and early childhood education and care services. Data on customer numbers, performances, personnel and costs are mainly compiled from municipalities' own information systems and financial statements. Urban experts agree on the most uniform definitions for data collection and implement the data collection in practice.

This statistic illustrates the European cities with the largest annual rental yields as of 2016, broken down by city. It can be seen that Odense, in Denmark, had the largest annual rental yield at that time, with a return of *** percent at that time. Budapest (Hungary) ranked second, in terms of largest yield, with an annual rental yield of *** percent as of 2016. Gyor and Debrecen, also in Hungary, ranked joint third, with an annual rental yield of *** percent.

Introduction: Access to the healthcare system when patients are vulnerable and living outside metropolitan areas can be challenging. Our objective was to explore healthcare system satisfaction of urban and rural inhabitants depending on financial and health vulnerabilities.Methods: Repeated cross-sectional data from 353,523 European citizens (2002–2016). Multivariable associations between rural areas, vulnerability factors and satisfaction with the healthcare system were assessed with linear mixed regressions and adjusted with sociodemographic and control factors.Results: In unadjusted analysis, the people who lived in houses in the countryside and those who lived in the suburbs were the most satisfied with the healthcare system. In the adjusted model, residents living in big cities had the highest satisfaction. Financial and health vulnerabilities were associated with less satisfaction with the healthcare system, with a different effect according to the area of residence: the presence of health vulnerability was more negatively correlated with the healthcare system satisfaction of big city inhabitants, whereas financial vulnerability was more negatively correlated with the satisfaction of those living in countryside homes.Conclusion: Vulnerable residents, depending on their area of residence, may require special attention to increase their satisfaction with the healthcare system.

The Black Death was the largest and deadliest pandemic of Yersinia pestis recorded in human history, and likely the most infamous individual pandemic ever documented. The plague originated in the Eurasian Steppes, before moving with Mongol hordes to the Black Sea, where it was then brought by Italian merchants to the Mediterranean. From here, the Black Death then spread to almost all corners of Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa. While it was never endemic to these regions, it was constantly re-introduced via trade routes from Asia (such as the Silk Road), and plague was present in Western Europe until the seventeenth century, and the other regions until the nineteenth century. Impact on Europe In Europe, the major port cities and metropolitan areas were hit the hardest. The plague spread through south-western Europe, following the arrival of Italian galleys in Sicily, Genoa, Venice, and Marseilles, at the beginning of 1347. It is claimed that Venice, Florence, and Siena lost up to two thirds of their total population during epidemic's peak, while London, which was hit in 1348, is said to have lost at least half of its population. The plague then made its way around the west of Europe, and arrived in Germany and Scandinavia in 1348, before travelling along the Baltic coast to Russia by 1351 (although data relating to the death tolls east of Germany is scarce). Some areas of Europe remained untouched by the plague for decades; for example, plague did not arrive in Iceland until 1402, however it swept across the island with devastating effect, causing the population to drop from 120,000 to 40,000 within two years. Reliability While the Black Death affected three continents, there is little recorded evidence of its impact outside of Southern or Western Europe. In Europe, however, many sources conflict and contrast with one another, often giving death tolls exceeding the estimated population at the time (such as London, where the death toll is said to be three times larger than the total population). Therefore, the precise death tolls remain uncertain, and any figures given should be treated tentatively.
