Between 1913 and 1990, i.e. from before the First World War until the end of communism in Europe, urbanization increased significantly across the continent. The industrialized nation of Germany already had considerable levels of urbanization in the early twentieth century, with 60 percent of its population living in cities. France and Sweden also saw increased industrialization in the early part of the century (with Sweden undergoing a rapid transformation in the interwar period), and a boom in urbanization followed; however, this process came much later in southern and Eastern Europe.
