A '''city''' is an inhabited urban development that usually has a population greater than that of a town. In [[Great Britain]] traditionally a city was a town possessing a [[cathedral]], all other large settlements being merely towns. This is, however, no longer the case; city status is conveyed by royal charter. Some towns have catherals but are not cities (e.g. [[Chemsford]], [[Guildford]]); others are cities but have no cathedral (e.g. [[Derby]], [[Sunderland]], [[Newport]]).
