A statutory city (German: Statutarstadt in Austria, or Czech: Statutární město in the Czech Republic) is a municipal corporation with town privileges of city status, which also accomplishes tasks on an intermediate level of administration. Statutory cities therefore are not incorporated into the Austrian or Czech districts resp., but form urban districts in their own right.

Famous quotes containing the word city:
“A city on whom plenty held full hand,
For riches strewed herself even in her streets;
Whose towers bore heads so high they kissed the clouds,
And strangers ne’er beheld but wondered at.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
