List: Top Ten Fastest Growing Cities in Europe (Highest Annual Population Increase)
Date: June 2004
Source: Eurostat
Base: 258 Cities across in the European Community
Notes: Data covering years 1996 to 2001. Five of the ten are Spanish cities as the young move out of the countryside looking for jobs and excitement. Good to see the Spaniards using our UK tax money to fund their growing urban centres then.
