unreferenced date March 2008 There is no real city in the FaroeIslands . Nevertheless the capital T rshavn is an ambitious town that is growing faster than other towns in the country.

In some sense most of the rural area of the FaroeIslands can now be seen as suburbs or satellite regions of T rshavn . Due to the huge investments in infrastructure, about 75 of the Faroese population are now living within one hour of the capital. These area include the entire islands of Streymoy , Eysturoy and V gar and the relatively large town Klaksv k on Bor oy .
