[[Image:York Minster close.jpg|thumbnail|right|220px|Historically, city status was associated with the presence of a [[cathedral]], such as [[York Minster]].]]

Lo '''status di City nel [[Regno Unito]]''' è concesso dal monarca ad un gruppo selezionato di comunità. Esso non viene applicato automaticamente secondo criteri precisi, sebbene sia stato concesso storicamente alle cattedrali diocesane. La relazione tra avere una cattedrale e avere lo status di city venne introdotta poco dopo il 1540, quando [[Enrico VIII]] fondò diocesi (e quindi cattedrali) in sei cittadine inglesi, garantendo loro lo status di city tramite le Letters Patent. [[City]] status is conferred by Letters Patent (an "open letter" and not by a royal charter) but there are some British cities which predate the historical monarchy and have been regarded as cities since "[[tempo immemorabile]]". City status brings no special benefits, other than the right to be called a city.

Some people have disputed the official definition, especially inhabitants of places that have been considered cities in the past but are not generally considered cities today. Additionally, although the Crown clearly has the right to bestow 'official' city status, some have doubted the right of the Crown to define the word "city" in the United Kingdom. In informal usage, "city" can be used for large towns or conurbations that are not formally cities. The best-known example of this is [[London]], which contains two cities (the [[City of London]] and the [[City of Westminster]]) but is not itself a city.

There are currently sixty-six officially designated cities in the UK, of which eight have been created since 2000 in competitions to celebrate the new [[3rd millennium|millennium]] and Queen [[Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom|Elizabeth II]]'s [[Golden Jubilee]]. The designation is highly sought after, with over forty communities submitting bids at recent competitions.

Charters originated as [[charters of incorporation]], allowing a town to become an incorporated [[borough]], or to hold [[market]]s. Some of these charters recognised officially that the town involved was a city. Apart from recognition, it became accepted that such a charter could make a town into a city. The earliest examples of these are [[Hereford]] and [[Worcester, England|Worcester]], both of which date their city status to 1189.

Until the 16th century, a town was invariably recognised as a city by the Crown if it had a [[List of Church of England dioceses|diocesan cathedral]] within its limits. This has led to some cities that are very small today, because they were unaffected by population growth during the [[industrial revolution]]—notably [[Wells]], which has a population of about 10,000 (see [[Smallest cities in Britain]]). After the 16th century, no new dioceses (and no new cities) were created until the 19th century, but the practice was revived with the creation of the diocese of [[Ripon]] in 1836. A string of new dioceses and cities followed. This process was changed in 1888 to allow [[Birmingham]] and other large settlements that didn't have cathedrals to become recognised as cities (Birmingham's parish church later became a cathedral).

Towns that became seats of bishoprics in the 20th century, such as [[Guildford]] and [[Blackburn]], were not automatically granted recognition as cities. However, well into the 20th century, it was assumed that the presence of a cathedral was sufficient to elevate a town to city status, and that for cathedral cities, the city charters were recognising its city status rather than granting it. On this basis, the [[1911 Encyclopedia Britannica]] makes the claim that [[Southwell, Nottinghamshire|Southwell]] (diocese established 1884) and [[St Asaph]] (an historic diocese) are cities. These towns were never granted letters patent recognising this by the Crown, and so when the letters patent became the important criterion they were no longer generally considered cities.

A town can now apply for city status by submitting an application to the [[Lord Chancellor]], who makes recommendations to the sovereign. These application competitions are usually held to mark special events, such as [[Coronation of the British monarch|coronation]]s, royal [[jubilee]]s or the [[2000|Millennium]].

Some cities in England, Wales and Northern Ireland have the further distinction of having a [[Mayors in the United Kingdom|Lord Mayor]] rather than a simple [[Mayor]]. In Scotland, the equivalent is the [[Lord Provost]]. Lord Mayors have the right to be [[style (manner of address)|styled]] "The Right Worshipful The Lord Mayor". The Lord Mayors and Provosts of [[Belfast]], [[Bristol]], [[Cardiff]], [[City of Edinburgh|Edinburgh]], [[City of Glasgow|Glasgow]], [[City of London]], and [[York]] all have the further right to be styled "[[The Right Honourable]] the Lord Mayor" (or Provost), though they are not members of the [[Privy Council of the United Kingdom|Privy Council]] as this style usually indicates. The style is associated with the office, not the person holding it, so "The Right Worshipful Joe Bloggs" would be incorrect.

There are currently 66 recognised cities (including 30 Lord Mayoralties or Lord Provostships) in the UK: 50 cities (23 Lord Mayoralties) in [[England]], five cities (two Lord Mayoralties) in [[Wales]], six cities (four Lord Provostships) in [[Scotland]] and five cities (one Lord Mayoralty) in [[Northern Ireland]].

[[Rochester, Kent|Rochester]] was recognised as a city from 1211 to 1998. Until 1998, it was a [[Districts of England|local government district]] in the county of [[Kent]]. On [[April 1]], [[1998]], the existing local government districts of Rochester and [[Gillingham, Medway|Gillingham]] were abolished and became the new [[unitary authority]] of [[Medway]]. Since it was the local government district that officially held city status, when it was abolished, it also ceased to be a city. The other local government districts with city status that were abolished around this time ([[Bath]] and [[Hereford]]) had decided to appoint [[Charter Trustees]] to maintain the existence of the city and the mayoralty. However, Rochester upon Medway City Council had decided not to. Medway Council apparently only became aware of this when, in 2002, they discovered that Rochester was not on the [[Lord Chancellor's Office]]'s list of cities. [http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/england/1991827.stm] [http://www.medway.gov.uk/orc20030304r-5.pdf?file=10698]

==Lista di City==

Le seguenti sono le ''city'' ufficiali nel Regno Unito nel [[2004]]. Quelle con tale status da ''[[tempo immemorabile]]'' sono indicate con "TI" della colonna "dal".

Le Cattedrali indicate erano alla base dell'attribuzione dello status. Esse appartengono alla [[Chiesa d'Inghilterra]] e precedentemente alla [[Chiesa del Galles]] o alla [[Chiesa d'Irlanda]], in città riconosciute prima del [[1888]] (la [[Chiesa di Scozia]] non ha vescovi e quindi diocesi). Molte ittà hanno cattedrali [[Chiesa Cattolica|cattoliche]], che non sono elencate.

⁽²⁾ Coventry ha tre cattedrali, la prima, St. Mary's dal 1043–1539; la seconda, St. Michael's dal 1918–1940, quando fu distrutta dal bombardamento tedesco; e quella che l'ha rimpiazzata, ancora St. Michael's, costruita accanto a quella antica, consacrata nel 1962.

==City council==

Being a city gives a settlement no special rights other than that to call itself a city. Nonetheless, this is considered very prestigious and competitions for the status are hard fought.

Most cities have "city councils", which have varying powers depending upon the type of settlement. There are [[unitary authority|unitary authorities]] (including [[metropolitan borough]]s) that are responsible for all local government services within their area. The only current [[London borough]] having city status is the [[City of Westminster]]. Many cities have ordinary [[Non-metropolitan district|district councils]] which share power with [[county council]]s. At the bottom end of the scale, some cities have [[civil parish]] councils, with no more power than a [[village]].

Some cities have no council at all. Where they used to have a city council but it has been abolished they may have [[Charter Trustees]], drawn from the local district council, who appoint the mayor and look after the city's traditions.

Most "cities" are not [[city|cities]] in the traditional sense of the word (i.e. a large urban area) but are in fact [[districts of England|local government districts]] which have city status, and which often include large rural areas. For example the [[City of Canterbury]] and [[City of Wakefield]], cover large rural areas. The largest "city" district in terms of area is the [[City of Carlisle]], which covers some 400 square miles (1040km&sup2;) of mostly rural landscape in the north of England, and is larger than some of the smaller counties such as [[Merseyside]] or [[Rutland]]. The [[City of Sheffield]] contains part of the [[Peak District National Park]]. This is however merely a curiosity and has had no impact on the general usage of the word "city" in the UK, which has unambiguously retained its urban meaning in [[British English]]. Residents of the rural parts of the "City of Carlisle" and the like might be aware of the name of their local council, but would not consider themselves to be inhabitants of a city with a small "c".

Equally, there are some cities where the local government district is in fact smaller than the historical or natural boundaries of the city. Three examples of this are [[Manchester]] (where the traditional area associated includes areas of the neighboring authorities of Trafford, Tameside and Bury), [[Wolverhampton]] (areas of the neighbouring authorities of Walsall, Dudley and South Staffordshire) and most obviously, [[London]] (Greater London outside the City of London).

This contrasts with the situation in the United States, where the primary meaning of the word "city" is any area contained within [[city limits]], completely disregarding whether or not that area is recognisable as a traditional "city".

Due to the widespread interest in information about towns and cities, and for comparisons between urban populations and with those living outside towns, the Government at each census produces the report [http://www.statistics.gov.uk/census2001/ks_ub_ad.asp Key Statistics for Urban Areas] which separates the population of the actual town or city from the population of the area controlled by the council bearing its name.

==Apllicazioni dello status di City ==

City status grants have been used to mark special royal and other occasions. [[Swansea]] was granted city status in 1969 to mark the investiture of [[Charles, Prince of Wales|Charles, Duke of Cornwall]], as [[Prince of Wales]]. At the [[Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom|Queen]]'s [[Silver Jubilee]] in [[1977]], [[Derby (Regno Unito)|Derby]] was granted the honour. The use of formal competitions for city status is a recent practice. The first competition was held in 1992, to mark the 40th anniversary of the Queen's reign. [[City of Sunderland|Sunderland]] was the winner. In 1994 two historic seats of Bishoprics—[[St David's]] and [[Armagh]]—were granted city status. They had been considered cities historically, but this status had lapsed. For the city applications in 2000, held to celebrate the [[millennium]], the following towns and boroughs requested city status:

*''England'': [[Blackburn]], [[Blackpool]], [[Bolton]], [[Brighton and Hove]], [[Chelmsford]], [[Colchester]], [[Croydon]], [[Doncaster]], [[Dover]], [[Guildford]], [[Ipswich, England|Ipswich]], [[Luton]], [[Maidstone]], [[Medway]], [[Middlesbrough]], [[Milton Keynes]], [[Northampton]], [[Preston]], [[Reading, Berkshire|Reading]], [[Shrewsbury and Atcham]], [[Southend-on-Sea]], [[London Borough of Southwark|Southwark]], [[Stockport]], [[Swindon]], [[Telford and Wrekin]], [[Warrington]], [[Wolverhampton]].

*''Wales'': [[Aberystwyth]], [[Machynlleth]], [[Newport]], [[Newtown]], [[St Asaph]], [[Wrexham]].

*''Scotland'': [[Ayr]], [[Inverness]], [[Paisley]], [[Stirling]].

*''Northern Ireland'': [[Ballymena]], [[Lisburn]].

The three winners were [[Brighton and Hove]], [[Wolverhampton]], and [[Inverness]].

For the 2002 applications, held to celebrate the Queen's [[Golden Jubilee]], the entrants included all of the above towns except [[London Borough of Southwark|Southwark]], together with [[London Borough of Greenwich|Greenwich]] and [[Wirral (borough)|Wirral]] in England, [[Dumfries]] in Scotland and [[Carrickfergus]], [[Coleraine]], [[Craigavon]] and [[Newry]] in Northern Ireland. There was mild controversy in the rest of the UK over the fact that two of the three winners of the 2000 competition were [[England|English]] towns—especially in [[Wales]]—and so 2002 was run as four separate competitions. The winners in Great Britain were [[Preston]] in England, [[Newport]] in Wales, and [[Stirling]] in Scotland. In [[Northern Ireland]] it was decided to award city status to two entrants: [[Lisburn]] (predominantly unionist) and [[Newry]] (predominantly nationalist). [[Exeter]] was awarded Lord Mayoralty status in a separate application.

==Città sedi di Cattedrale==

[[Image:Southwark-cathedral.jpg|thumb|Under the new system, [[Southwark Cathedral]] does not make [[London Borough of Southwark|Southwark]] a city.]]

Now that being the seat of a [[List of Church of England dioceses|Church of England diocese]] is no longer sufficient (or necessary) to become a city, there are a number of cathedral towns. These are sometimes referred to as cities by their residents—particularly St Asaph and Rochester.

The [[1911 Encyclopedia Britannica]] refers to Llandaff, Southwell and St Asaph as cities, along with [[Armagh]] and [[Lisburn]] in [[Northern Ireland]], which only gained the status formally in 1994 and 2002 respectively.

There are 2 towns in Scotland that have Anglican Cathedrals but do not have city status — [[Oban]] and [[Perth, Scotland|Perth]]. Additionally, [[Brechin]] and [[Elgin]] are often referred to as cities.

There are 4 towns in Northern Ireland with Anglican Cathedrals that do not have city status — [[Clogher]], [[Downpatrick]], [[Dromore]] and [[Enniskillen]].

In total there are [http://www.lovemytown.co.uk/Cathedrals/CathedralsTable3.htm 18 UK towns ]that have city status but don't have Anglican cathedrals.

==Grandi centri urbani ==

As noted above, in ordinary discourse, "city" can refer to any large settlement, with no fixed limit.

There are certain towns which have large urban areas, which could qualify for city status, on the grounds of their population size. Some have applied for city status and had the application turned down. Northampton is one of the most populous urban districts not to be a London Borough, metropolitan borough or city; on this basis the council claims that it is the largest town in England:

At every census the government produces the report [http://www.statistics.gov.uk/census2001/ks_ub_ad.asp Key Statistics for Urban Areas] which shows that the following are the largest urban areas without city status:

* [[Reading, Berkshire|Reading]] - 232,662

* [[Dudley]] - 194,919

* [[Northampton]] - 189,474

* [[Luton]] - 185,543

* [[Milton Keynes]] - 184,506

* [[Walsall]] - 170,994

It should be noted that city status is usually not granted to urban areas, but to local government areas such as civil parishes and boroughs — the boundaries, and hence populations, of which are not necessarily the same. The [[Stirling|City of Stirling]] provides a counterexample here, in that in [[Stirling (district)|Stirling district]]'s application for city status was specifically for the the urban area of Stirling - proposed city boundaries were included, and so not all of the district has city status.

This leads to the oddity whereby city status can be granted to areas that are not generally regarded as towns (despite them holding borough status). Examples include Wirral Council (main town Birkenhead) and Medway Council (main towns Gillingham and the former city of Rochester). Both Wirral and Medway Councils applied for city status in 2002 along with the London Boroughs of Croydon and Greenwich.

Examples of "federal cities" of this type would be the [[Stoke on Trent]] and [[Brighton and Hove]] - both of which are made up of a number of separate towns, although in both cases the borough was formed before city status was granted.
