This paper reports the results of a study of community type effects on teacher involvement in school development activity (SDA). The sample included 244 teachers from 12 schools in four cities, 276 teachers from 29 schools in ten smaller towns and 851 teachers from 58 schools in 25 rural municipalities in Norway. The results showed that teachers in the smaller towns were more involved in SDA than those in the rural areas, whereas the difference between cities and smaller towns was not statistically significant. The impact of urbanization was mediated through the principal's involvement in SDA and the innovation culture in the schools
