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:
“There is a city myth that country life was isolated and lonely; the truth is that farmers and their families then had a richer social life than they have now. They enjoyed a society organic, satisfying and whole, not mixed and thinned with the life of town, city and nation as it now is.”
—Rose Wilder Lane (1886–1965)
