This study combines a decade of daily weather, traffic, and air quality data from Norway's six largest cities. The data is sourced from the Norwegian Public Roads Administration, the Norwegian Institute of Air Research, and the Norwegian Meteorological Institute. Careful selection and verification of monitoring stations were conducted to ensure accuracy and consistency. Initially focusing on the top ten populous cities, monitoring sites for traffic and air pollution were scrutinized. Weather variables were then aligned with selected sites, resulting in a dataset spanning 2009 to 2018. It includes key pollutants like NO, NO2, NOx, PM2.5, and PM10. This dataset has significant potential for further analysis and informing policy decisions, making it valuable for researchers and policymakers studying the connections between weather, traffic, and air quality in urban areas.

The share of urban population in Norway saw no significant changes in 2023 in comparison to the previous year 2022 and remained at around 84 percent. Still, the share reached its highest value in the observed period in 2023. A population may be defined as urban depending on the size (population or area) or population density of the village, town, or city. The urbanization rate then refers to the share of the total population who live in an urban setting. International comparisons may be inconsistent due to differing parameters for what constitutes an urban center.Find more key insights for the share of urban population in countries like Denmark and Sweden.
