Statutory City - Other Countries

Other Countries

  • A similar concept in Germany is called Stadtkreis or Kreisfreie Stadt, but these cities, such as Munich, do not have a municipal constitution - they use the Gemeindeordnung, a state law differing from Bundesland to Bundesland.
  • Several cities in Poland are vested with the administrative rights of a powiat district, therefore called miasta na prawach powiatu or powiat grodzki (city district).
  • In the English-speaking world, especially in the U.S. state of Virginia, a similar concept is known as independent city or as unitary authority in the United Kingdom.
