The urban-type settlement ( lit. Miesto tipo gyvenvietė ) is a historical type of settlement that existed in the Lithuanian SSR and Lithuania in 1946-1995. Currently (2012) there are no urban settlements in Lithuania. In the early 1990s, they were all transformed either into cities or into rural settlements - towns and villages.
