The difference between towns and cities is differently understood in different parts of the world. Indeed, some languages other than English use a single word for both concepts. Iberian languages typically use a three-way designation (Catalan: “Село”, “vila”, “Місто”; Galician: “aldea”, “vila”, “Місто”; Portuguese: “Село”, “vila”, “Місто”; Spanish: “Село”, “villa”, “Місто”—respectively “village”, “town”, “city”); Italian: “Село”, "paese" “città”—respectively “village”, "town", “city”; , but other Романські мови don’t (French: “Село”, “Місто”).^{[джерело?]}

Even within the English-speaking world there is no one standard definition of a city: the term may be used either for a town possessing city status; for an urban locality exceeding an arbitrary population size; for a town dominating other towns with particular regional economic or administrative significance. In British English, city is reserved for very large settlements and smaller historic settlements with a Cathedral (e.g. Lichfield), while smaller settlements without a Cathedral are called towns, and smaller still are villages and hamlets.^{[джерело?]} In the US city is used for much smaller settlements.

Although city can refer to an Міська агломерація including suburban and satellite areas, the term is not usually applied to a conurbation (cluster) of distinct urban places, nor for a wider metropolitan area including more than one city, each acting as a focus for parts of the area. And the word "town" (also "downtown") may mean the center of the city.

Australia

Sydney is Australia's largest city

Australia's most populous urban areas are Sydney, Мельбурн, Брісбен, Перт and Аделаїда.

In informal Австралійська англійська, the word "city" has several related meanings and usages. It may refer to: the Столиця of a Адміністративний поділ Австралії; any large settlement; a local government area (LGA) or; a central business district (CBD).^{[джерело?]} For instance, within the wider urban area known as Перт, Australia's fourth most populous urban area, the City of Perth is a relatively small LGA, which also includes the Perth CBD. Similarly, residents of Sydney might speak of travelling to the CBD as "going to the city".

Official definitions of cities vary significantly from one part of Australia to another. For instance, in Новий Південний Уельс, a city must have a population of at least 10,000. However, for various reasons, some local governments do not seek or receive city status: for instance, Sutherland Shire – in Sydney's south eastern suburbs – has a population of 220,000 (2010) which exceeds that of the City of Sydney proper (180,000). By contrast, other states utilise quite different official definitions. For example, while the Castlemaine and Portland in Вікторія (штат) were at one time officially "Cities" (in the sense of LGAs), both are now officially the centres of "Shires" and have populations of less than 10,000.

Azerbaijan

Azerbaijan recognizes 69 urban settlements as cities. The largest, with just over two million inhabitants, is the capital Баку. See: Список міст Азербайджану

Belarus

Мінськ, the most populous city in Belarus

In the Білорусьian language two words mean "city" or "town" - "горад" (horad) and "места" (miesta), where "horad" translated as "fortifying miesta", or "stronghold". The term "miesta" translated as "town without fortifying" and meaning modern town. In the contemporary Belarusian language term "horad" is used more often, in spite of lexical inexactitude of this term. The smallest population of a city of Belaruse officially not named "horad" or "miesta" it is used a name "urban-type settlement" ("паселішча гарадскога тыпу", "paselyscha haradskoha typu") and also (informal or with historical sense) "мястэчка" ("miastechka").

Brazil

Сан-Паулу, the largest city in Бразилія

Бразилія is divided into Адміністративний поділ Бразилії (порт. estados) and these into Муніципалітет (municípios); there is no Графство or equivalent level. Brazilian law defines a "city" (cidade) as the urban seat of a municipality and establishes no difference between cities and towns; all it takes for an urban area to be legally called a "city" is to be the seat of a municipality, and some of them are semi-rural settlements with a very small population. Municipalities always have the same name as their corresponding cities, and the terms município and cidade are often used interchangeably, even by the government itself, although this is not technically correct. However, except for the Federal District (the area of the national capital city, Бразиліа), which has special status and no municipalities, all land in Brazil is in the territory of some municipality. Thus, even in the country's remotest wilderness areas, one is still technically under the jurisdiction of a "city," or at least of its government. Brazil's largest cities are Сан-Паулу and Ріо-де-Жанейро, both located on the heavily urbanized South East coast.

Bulgaria

Пловдив, Болгарія

In Болгарія the word "град" (grad) means city or town, although the word "градче" (gradche) can be used for small cities or towns. The Council of Ministers has the right to give or withdraw the status of the territorial unit and the president sets the name. In 2005 it was introduced that in order for a village to become a city it has to have developed social and technical infrastructure and have a population of more than 3500 people (in the resort cities - more than 1000).

There are settlements with a city status for historical and cultural reasons (Melnik with a population of 358), or for political reasons (Pravets, Kableshkovo, etc.).

Canada

Файл:Beatifultorontoatnight.png

Торонто is the largest city in Канада

In Canada, the granting of city status is handled by the individual Провінції Канади. Therefore, city status definitions and criteria vary widely across the country. In Британська Колумбія and Саскачеван, towns can become cities after they reach a population of 5,000 people, but the threshold is 10,000 in Альберта, Нью-Брансвік, and Онтаріо. In Манітоба, an urban municipality may not be named as a city unless its population meets or exceeds 7,500 people.

Although it has numerous cities in the traditional sense of the term, Ontario also sometimes confers city status on primarily rural areas whose municipalities have been merged into a former county government. Нова Шотландія has abolished city status altogether, replacing it with regional municipality status.

In Квебек (провінція), there is no legal distinction between a city and a town, as both have the legal status of ville. The province formerly differentiated between ville (town) and cité (city), but no longer does so.

China (People's Republic of China)

Шанхай, China

A city is an administrative division in Mainland China. There are three types of cities: a municipality is a provincial-level division (e.g. Shanghai or Beijing); a prefecture-level city is governed by provinces or autonomous regions; and a county-level city is a sub-unit of a prefecture-level administrative division.

There is a formal definition of city in China provided by the Chinese government, commonly seen in maps and textbooks.^{[джерело?]} A minimum 100,000 non-agricultural population in an urbanized area, usually the administrative centre of a county(县, "xian"), is required to establish it in an administrative sense as a city(市, "shi"). By its non-agricultural population is a city classified: 100,000-200,000 a small city, 200,000-500,000 a medium city, 500,000-1,000,000 a large city and >1,000,000 an extra-large city(特大城市).^{[джерело?]} Also, there is an administrative definition based on the city boundary too and a city has its legal city limits.^{[джерело?]} In 1998, there were 668 cities in China. China has the largest urban population in the world although half of its population still lives in rural areas.^{[джерело?]}

Chile

Сантьяго, the largest city in Chile

Чилі's Department of National Statistics defines a city (ciudad in Spanish) as an urban entity with more than 5,000 inhabitants. A town (pueblo), is an urban entity with 2,001 to 5,000 persons, however, if the area has some economic activity, the designation may include populations as small as 1,001. The department also defines Major Cities as provincial or regional capitals with populations of 100,001 to 500,000; Great Urban Areas which comprise several entities without any appreciable limit between them and populations which total between 500,001 and 1,000,000. A Metropolis is the largest urban area in the country where there are more than one million inhabitants. The "urban entity" is defined as a concentration of habitations with more than 2,000 persons living in them, or more than 1,000 persons if more than half of those persons are in some way gainfully employed. Туризм and Рекреація areas with more than 250 living units may be considered as urban areas.

Denmark

Данія abolished the legal distinction between borough (købstad in Danish) and town (by) with the administrative reform in 1970. Before that time boroughs were chartered towns exempt from the county jurisdiction.

Egypt

In Єгипет the word "مدينة" (madina) means city or town and there is no distinction between the two.

Франція

У Франції поділ на міста (фр. ville) та село (фр. village, близько 50—2000 жителів) має неформальний характер. Французи, зазвичай, суб'єктивно відрізняють місто, яке має більш ніж близько 10000 жителів (місто) і те, яке має менше 10000 (мале місто, фр. petite ville). Для великих міст може бути використаний термін Метрополія або Grande Ville(велике місто).

Germany

Берлін, the largest city in Німеччина

The German word for both "town" and "city" is Stadt, while a city with more than 100,000 inhabitants is called a Großstadt (big city). On the other hand, most towns are communities belonging to a Landkreis (county or rural district), but there are some cities, usually with at least 50,000 inhabitants, that are counties by themselves (kreisfreie Städte). In 2006, there were 82 cities with more than 100,000 inhabitants in Germany. Germany's largest cities are Берлін, Гамбург, Мюнхен, Кельн and Франкфурт-на-Майні while the largest urban area is in the Рейнсько-Рурський регіон region around such cities as Дортмунд, Дуйсбург and Ессен. Berlin and Frankfurt are characterized as world cities or global cities.

Indonesia

Ireland

The five cities in the Ірландія are Корк, Дублін, Ґолвей, Лімерік (місто), and Waterford. Kilkenny does not have an autonomous city council, but is considered a city for historic reasons having been granted a royal charter in 1601.

Italy

Рим, Італія

In Italy a city is called città, a noun derived from the Латинська мова civitas. The status of "city" is granted by the President of the Republic with Presidential Decree Law. The largest and most important cities in the country, such as Rome, Мілан, Неаполь and Турин, are called aree metropolitane (metropolitan areas) because they include several minor cities and towns in their areas. In the coat of arms, a golden crown tower stands for a city.

Mexico

Файл:Mexico-city-cathedral.jpg

Мехіко the largest metropolis of the country and one of the largest of the world.

The Mexican population is increasingly urban with close to 75% of the population living in cities. The five largest metropolitan areas of Mexico (Greater Mexico City, Greater Guadalajara, Greater Monterrey, Greater Puebla and Greater Tijuana) are home to 30% of the country's population.

In 2004, a joint effort between CONAPO (National Council of Population), INEGI and the Secretariat of Social Development (SEDESOL) agreed to define metropolitan areas as either:

• The group of two or more municipalities in which a city with a population of at least 50,000 is located whose urban area extends over the limit of the municipality that originally contained the core city incorporating either physically or under its area of direct influence other adjacent predominantly urban municipalities all of which have a high degree of social and economic integration or are relevant for urban politics and administration.

• A single municipality in which a city of a population of at least one million is located and fully contained, (that is, it does not transcend the limits of a single municipality).

Netherlands

In the Нідерланди a city is called stad, in common with other Германські мовиs. In the Dutch language there is no distinction between town and city (both are stad). Small settlements are distinguished similarly as in English, being called dorp (village) or gehucht (hamlet). In medieval times, a settlement had to achieve Магдебурзьке право to be called a stad. In modern times, there is no Dutch law saying what can be called a city or not, although generally places with more than 50,000 inhabitants are called a city. Settlements between 20,000 and 50,000 are most often called kleine stad or stadje, which literally means "little city". Settlements under about 20,000 may be called dorp, "village". The four largest cities are Amsterdam, Роттердам, Гаага and Утрехт, which together form the heart of the Рандстад metropolitan conurbation.

New Zealand

Окленд (Нова Зеландія), the largest city in New Zealand

In New Zealand, a local authority may be proclaimed a city only if it meets certain criteria. Specifically, "a city [...] must have a minimum population of 50,000, be predominantly urban in character, be a distinct entity and a major centre of activity within the region." Some early settlements, such as Nelson and Крайстчерч, were proclaimed cities by royal charter. Later, laws established criteria for a town to meet before it could officially be proclaimed a city, and these criteria have changed over time. Станом на 1 листопада 2010, 13 of New Zealand's 67 territorial authorities will be officially styled cities.

In informal usage, a city is simply a large, important urban centre, regardless of the composition of its local government (which may be a combination of one or more cities or districts). For example, Gisborne, which purports to be the first city to see the sun, has a population of only 44,500 (2006), many of whom live outside the Gisborne urban area; it is, therefore, administered by a district council, not a city council. Some city councils, such as Christchurch and Данідін, also administer large areas of rural hinterland; the communities in these areas, such as the towns of Akaroa and Middlemarch, are not often thought of as part of their cities, except for certain legal and administrative purposes. Meanwhile, the cities of Веллінгтон and Окленд (Нова Зеландія) are generally regarded as single cities, despite Wellington's and, until recently, Auckland's being divided into several local government areas.

Statistics New Zealand has introduced the concept of main urban areas, which have a minimum population of 30,000. The 16 main urban areas identified in 2001 and 2006 correspond closely to the urban settlements traditionally regarded as cities.

Norway

In Норвегія a city is called by and is derived from the Norse word býr meaning "a place with many buildings". Both cities and towns can be referred to as by; however, in recent years, storby (lit. large city) has been used for larger settlements. The status of "town" is granted by the local authorities if a request for city status has been made and the area has a population of at least 5000. An area with a population of at least 50,000 is counted as a "city". Since 1997, cities no longer have special administrative functions.

Pakistan

Файл:Karachi City view towards port.jpg

Карачі is the largest city in Пакистан

There has traditionally been no formal distinction between "City" or "Town" in Pakistan, although informal distinctions and status has been as common as in any other country. Several cities in what is now Pakistan were traditionally recognized as cities; in some cases for centuries; Лахор, Мултан and Пешавар are examples. After independence and the rapid increase in population that followed caused Карачі to become the nation's largest city, while the rapid industrialisation in the north of the country resulted in new towns increasing greatly in population; such as Sialkot and Faisalabad,these two cities grow in population also because of agriculture,social development and high rate of natural increase, whilst Равалпінді, traditionally a garrison town became a large city due to the decision to build a new capital nearby. In 2001, a new Act formalised the distinction, by granting the 10 largest cities and metropolitan areas the status of city district, which for the first time gave areas the status of cities.

Philippines

Makati The Financial Capital of the Philippines

Congress is the lone legislative entity that can incorporate cities. Provincial and municipal councils can pass resolutions indicating a desire to have a certain area (usually an already-existing municipality or a cluster of barangays) declared a city after the requirements for becoming a city are met. As per Republic Act No. 9009, these requirements include the following:

• locally generated income of at least PHP 100 million (based on constant prices in the year 2000) for the last two consecutive years, as certified by the Department of Finance, AND
• a population of 150,000 or more, as certified by the National Statistics Office (NSO); OR a contiguous territory of 100 square kilometers, as certified by the Land Management Bureau, with contiguity not being a requisite for areas that are on two or more Острівs.

Польща

Варшава — найбільшt місто у Польщі

В Польщі статус міста (пол. miasto) надається виключно адміністративними рішеннями центрального уряду. Більші міста утворюють окремий повіт (місто з правами повіту, пол. miasto na prawach powiatu), менші можуть бути міською гміною, або частиною місько-сільської гміни.

Містами з населенням понад 100 тисяч мешканців керують президенти міст, меншими - бурмістри. Обидві посади займають особи обрані на безпосередніх виборах.

Найбільші міста Польщі: Варшава, Лодзь, Краків, Гданськ, Познань, Вроцлав.

Portugal

Лісабон, Португалія

As in Spanish, in Португальська мова there is a traditional distinction between cities — cidades — and towns — vilas. The difference is defined by law, and a city must have:

• at least 8,000 electors (more or less 10,000 inhabitants)
• at least half of the following services:
  • hospital
  • pharmacy
  • fire department
  • theatre / cultural house
  • museum
  • library
  • hotel services
  • basic and secondary schools
  • public transport
  • gardens / urban parks

In special cases, some towns may be granted the status of city if they possess historical, cultural or architectonic importance.

The Portuguese urban settlements Геральдика reflects the difference between cities, towns and villages, with the Герб of a city bearing a crown with 5 towers, the coat of arms of a town bearing a crown with 4 towers, while the coat of arms of a village bears a crown with 3 towers. This difference between cities, towns and villages is still in use in other Portuguese speaking countries, but not in Brazil.

There is also the notion of grande área metropolitana (great metropolitan area). There are two main metropolitan areas: Lisbon (the capital), in the centre of the country and Порту in the North. Lisbon Metropolitan Area has a population that exceeds 3 million. Greater Metropolitan Area of Porto has over 2 million inhabitants, although it is part of the Portuguese Northwestern Agglomeration that has, also, about 3 million inhabitants.

Romania

Cities and towns in Romania can have the status either of municipiu or Список міст Румунії. Smaller villages that do not apply to the city status are called comuna/comune (f., sing./pl.) and sat/sate (m., sing./pl.). By 2001 law, published on July 24, 2001 (M.O. number 408), there are 172 cities in Romania, and the minimum requirements for a settlement to be acknowledge as a iii-3rd rank city status are:

• Population: over 5,000 citizens
• Non-agricultural related activities: 75% people
• Network of drinking water coverage for homes: 70% of street covering
• Network of liquid waste recycle from homes: 55% of street covering
• Waste water recycling facility
• Water access-points for fire related incidents: 60% of the street covering
• Paved streets or more: 50%
• Hospital seats: 7 every 1000th citizen
• Medical health care: 1.8 doctors per 1000th citizen
• Hotel rooms: 50 seats
• Public and permanent waste disposal
• Primary school for children and a complementary school or at least one high school.
• Cultural facilities: One free-access library, one show room, one public gym
• One public garden : 10 sqm / citizen

In respect to the density of the cities, if it is more than 25 km to the next city, there are further benefits the mayor can access, fundings included.

A municipality is the next status after city-status by the same law, and Romania has 82 municipalities, plus the Municipality of Бухарест.

South Korea

Південна Корея has a system of dividing into metropolitan cities, provinces, a special city (Seoul) and one specially self-governing province (Провінція Чеджу). In South Korea, cities should have a population of more than 150,000, and if a city has more than 500,000, it would be divided into 2 districts and then sub-communities follow as a name of dong with similar system of normal cities. Additionally, if a city's population is over 1,000,000, then it would be promoted to metropolitan city.
Seoul is the world's second largest metropolitan area.

Sweden

Мальме is the third largest city in Sweden and is connected to Denmark's capital city Копенгаген with the Ересуннський міст.

Швеція canceled the official legal term City (in Swedish: stad) in the year 1971. Only the word Муніципалітет (in Swedish: kommun) prevails, making no legal difference between Стокгольм and a countryside municipality. Before that there were a number of terms like "stad"/Town, "köping"/large village etc. The definition of City/Town (stad) was merely that it was given such a title. Since the 1980s some municipalities (13 out of 290) being "stad" before 1971, again call themselves town (stad), but only in tourist advertising. This has no legal or administrative significance whatsoever, and the municipalities have to use the word "kommun" by law. In other cases the seat of the municipality is called "town".

Today's Swedish terminology makes no distinction between city and town; both concepts translate to the single word "stad", but sometimes town can be rendered "småstad". Statistics Sweden defines a "stad" as an urban area (in Swedish: tätort) of at least 10,000 inhabitants.

Turkey

There are some definitions of city in Turkey. Older definition which defines the city as a settlement with more than 20 000 inhabitants is out of use and a city is usually defined as the administrative center of a province (тур. il) There are 81 provincial centers in Turkey. Nevertheless, some of the district centers (тур. ilçe) are more populous and more developed than the provincial centers.

But in 1984, the metropolitan center concept was introduced. (тур. Büyükşehir) According to definition (revised as of 2004) a metropolitan center is a city with more than 750 000 inhabitants. At present 16 of the provincial centers are metropolitan centers.

Ukraine

There is no difference in the Ukrainian language between the notions of "town" and "city". Both these words are translated into Ukrainian as "місто" ("misto"). In articles of Wikipedia only the term "city" is used for every Ukrainian locality named "місто". The smallest population of a city of Ukraine can be about 10,000. For towns which officially are not named "місто" it is used a name "urban-type settlement" ("селище міського типу", "selyshche mis'koho typu") and also (informal) "містечко" ("mistechko"), the latter Ukrainian word is related to the word "місто" and can be translated as "small town".

United Kingdom

Лондон is the capital and largest city in the UK, as well as being a global hub of political and economic activity

In the United Kingdom (UK), a city is a town which has been known as a city since time immemorial, or which has received city status by letters patent—which are normally granted on the basis of: Population (>300,000), metropolitan character, governance, importance and / or a Royal connection. In England and Wales, prior to 1907 the criterion was simply the establishment of an Anglican Cathedral. For example the small town of Ripon was granted city status in 1836 to coincide with the creation of the Diocese of Ripon, but also in recognition of its long-standing role as a supplier of spurs to royalty. In the United Kingdom, when people talk about cities, they generally include the suburbs in that. Some cathedral cities, such as St David's in Уельс and Wells in Англія, are quite small, and may not be known as cities in common parlance. Preston became England's newest city in the year 2002 to mark the Queen's jubilee, as did Ньюпорт (Уельс) in Wales, Стерлінг in Шотландія, and Lisburn and Newry in Північна Ірландія. However, major towns such as Reading, Нортгемптон, Luton, Swindon and Milton Keynes all harbour populations between 170,000 and 215,000 inhabitants but are not officially cited as cities.

The situation in London is a historical anomaly: the City of Westminster and the City of London are geographically small but historically significant parts of the Великий Лондон conurbation that have independent city status.^{[джерело?]}

A Review of Scotland's Cities led to the Fair City of Перт (Шотландія), losing city status. By both legal and traditional definition, a town may be of any size, but must contain a Ринок. A village must contain a church^{[джерело?]}. A small village without a church is called a hamlet.

The UK's five largest cities are generally considered to be Лондон, Бірмінгем, Лідс, Манчестер and Глазго, but this is based on the population of the conurbation as a whole. In terms of formal city boundaries, the largest include Бристоль, Кардіфф, Единбург, Ліверпуль and Шеффілд.

United States

New York City is the most populous city in the United States and an influential global city

Лос-Анджелес is the second largest city in the United States

Чикаго is the third largest city in the United states

In the Сполучені Штати Америки, the classification of population centers is a matter of state law; consequently, the definition of a city varies widely from state to state. In some states, a city may be run by an elected mayor and city council, while a town is governed by the people, a select board (or board of trustees), or open town meeting. There are some very large municipalities which label themselves as towns (such as Hempstead, New York, with a population of 755,785 in 2004 or Cary, North Carolina with a population of 112,414 in 2006 ) and some very small cities (such as Woodland Mills, Tennessee, with a population of 296 in 2000), and the line between town and city, if it exists at all, varies from state to state. The lack of a clear-cut definition of a city in the United States can lead to some counter-intuitive labeling; for example, before it was dissolved in 2002 Maza, North Dakota, with only 5 inhabitants, was a city as by Північна Дакота law any incorporated location is deemed a city regardless of size. Каліфорнія has both towns and cities but the terms "town" and "city" are considered synonymous. The nation's top five Список міст США are Нью-Йорк, Лос-Анджелес, Чикаго, Х'юстон, and Філадельфія.

In some U.S. states, any incorporated town is also called a city. If a distinction is being made between towns and cities, exactly what that distinction is often depends on the context. The context will differ depending on whether the issue is the legal authority it possesses, the availability of shopping and entertainment, and the scope of the group of places under consideration. Intensifiers such as "small town" and "big city" are also common, though the converse of each is rarely used.

Some states make a distinction between villages and other forms of municipalities. In some cases, villages combine with larger other communities to form larger towns; a well-known example of an urban village is New York City's famed Greenwich Village, which started as a quiet country settlement but was absorbed by the growing city. The word has often been co-opted by enterprising developers to make their projects sound welcoming and friendly.

In Іллінойс, cities must have a minimum population of 2,500 but in Nebraska, cities must have a minimum of only 800 residents. In Орегон, Канзас, Кентуккі, North Dakota, Міннесота, and Айова, all incorporated municipalities are cities. In Огайо, a municipality automatically becomes a city if it has 5,000 residents counted in a federal census but it reverts to a village if its population drops below 5,000. In Небраска, 5,000 residents is the minimum for a city of the first class while 800 is the minimum for a city of the second class. The Constitution of Айдахо makes no distinction between incorporated towns or cities.

In all the Нова Англія states, city status is conferred by the form of government, not population. Town government has a board of selectmen or Town Council for the Виконавча влада branch, and a town meeting for the Законодавча влада branch, but unlike the US Government, the executive acts only as an administrative body and cannot override the will of town meeting. New England cities, on the other hand, have a mayor for the executive, and a legislature referred to as either the city council or the board of Альдерман.

In Вірджинія, all incorporated municipalities designated as cities are independent of the adjacent or surrounding county while a town is an incorporated municipality which remains a part of an adjacent or surrounding county. The largest incorporated municipalities by population are all cities, although some smaller cities have a smaller population than some towns. For example, the smallest city of Norton has a population of 3,904 and the largest town of Blacksburg has a population of 39,573. The other U.S. independent cities are Балтимор; Сент-Луїс (Міссурі); and Карсон-Сіті.

In Pennsylvania, municipalites with more than 10 persons can incorporate as a borough. Any township or borough with a population of at least 10,000 can ask the state legislature to charter as a city. In Pennsylvania, a village is simply an unincorporated community within a township. Parker, Pennsylvania is known as the smallest city in the United States.

Venezuela

Venezuela's Department of National Statistics defines a city (ciudad in Іспанська мова) as an urban entity with more than 5,000 inhabitants. A town (pueblo), is an urban entity with 2,001 to 5,000 persons.
