All of the major west European urban growth in the 1100s total trade himself in the towns, and of absolutism was a matter of principle to lead the importation and exportation through buying locations (see the Circumference ). Kjøpstad privileges lapsed as trade was freed during the 1800s. After a constitutional amendment in 1952, when the national division in parliamentary elections in particular kjøpstads- and rural areas was abolished, there was no longer any judicial significant difference between market towns and other cities (charging interests). The term township (and seaport) therefore went into disuse and was replaced by the word city . In 1958, before the general revision of the municipal division, there were 44 shopping destinations in Norway. See also municipality. [1]
