List of highest towns by country

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of the highest settlement of each country. Only permanent settlements occupied year-round are included. The locally claimed altitude above sea level is given; this may be the highest point in the settlement, the lowest point, an average height or the altitude of a particular central point.

The altitude of towns or cities affects the social and physical arrangement of the place. In many cases: the cold climate in winter will necessitate a particular style of house; the type of agriculture practiced and the domestic animals kept there will be limited; or, the type of work carried on will be specialised.
