Urban-type settlement (Russian: посёлок городско́го ти́па - posyolok gorodskogo tipa, abbreviated: п.г.т. - p.g.t.; Ukrainian: селище міського типу - selyshche mis'koho typu, abbreviated: с.м.т. - s.m.t.; Belarusian: пасёлак гарадскога тыпу; Polish: osiedle typu miejskiego; Bulgarian: селище от градски тип - selishte ot gradski tip) is an official designation for a semi-urban settlement (or a former town):
This type of locality has been used in all 15 member republics of the former Soviet Union since 1922 when it replaced number of terms which could have been translated by the English term "town" (Russia - posad, Ukraine - mistechko, Belarus - miastechko (the latter two from Polish "miasteczko", literally "small town") and others). It was even introduced later in Poland (1954) and Bulgaria (1964). All the urban-type settlements in Poland were transformed in other types of settlement (town or village) in 1972, while in Bulgaria and 5 of the post-Soviet republics (namely Armenia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova) - in the early 1990s. Today this term is still used in the other 9 post-Soviet republics - Azerbaijan, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, Uzbekistan.
