Thank you so much for your comments. It turns out I was wrong. This was pointed out to me by some of our colleagues, and I confirmed their disagreement with the Oxford and Larousse Dictionaries. Note I have changed the glossary to the correct translation.

without interruption, etc.

I don't know how you would say it in English, but "sin solución de continuidad" means that you can't tell where one finishes and the following starts. There's no gap, let's say, between them. This is a very common expression in English. It is not a subjective assessment related to growth or anything, just an observation on how they are arranged on the ground.

Spanish term (edited): sin soluci�n de continuidad

without (any) room for growth

Yes, I agree with you. For me "bien dispuestas" refers to the cities and towns as "well laid out" or "well arranged" and "without (any) room for growth"

\"sin solución de continuidad\" IS very common in Spanish and means \"without interruption\". It is CORRECT, though less common in English also: (my typos are also common ;-)

Thanks, but no research necessary. To get your driving licence in Spain you must memorise the highway code. I lie not. Definition of "built-up area"? "Edificaciones agrupadas sin que existan entre ellas soluciones de continuidad mayores de 500 metros";-)
