national definition:Eesti territooriumi haldusjaotuse seadus defineerib linna kui asustusüksuse ja haldusüksuse, milles teostatakse kohalikku omavalitsemist. Haldusüksusena on linn ühtlasi asula samades piirides. Vastavalt seadusele võib linn kui asustusüksus kuuluda ka valla koosseisu. Linna määratlemiseks puuduvad selged ja ranged karakteristikud. Linna elanike arv võib Eestis olla suhteliselt väike, isegi 1000 inimese ligi. Planeerimistegevuse haldamine linna haldusterritooriumil on linnavolikogu ja -valitsuse pädevuses. tavaliselt koostatakse üldplaneering kogu linna (kui haldusüksuse) kohta. Asend linnas muudab detailplaneeringu koostamise ehitustegevusel enamus juhtudel kohustuslikuks, kuid eksisteerib ka erandeid, mis on planeerimisseaduses kirjeldatud.

A city which is an administrative unit is also a settlement within the same boundaries. According to the act, a city as a settlement unit may also belong to a rural municipality.

Administration of planning activities within the administrative territory of a city is within the competence of the local government.
