	There are a range of different definitions and ways of categorising cities depending on the data-analysing organisation, census records or country. Cities can be determined by the number of inhabitants, the role it plays within a larger political context, the role it plays in terms of being a hub for the larger surrounding area, education, religion and so on.

−	In the UK, city status traditionally depended on the presence of an Anglican cathedral. It was not until 1889 that this requirement was dropped. The UK’s official criteria for defining a city today is not completely clear, but those which have been in place since 1907 specify that it must contain at least 300,000 inhabitants, have a good record of local government, and have a distinct identity that is the centre of a wider area.	+	In the UK, city status traditionally depended on the presence of an Anglican cathedral.

Other definitions suggest city status can be associated with having a cathedral or a university, a particular form of local government, or simply having a large population. More recently, city status has been granted through a series of competitive bids, managed by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government.

	A city is a human settlement with a large population. While cities have been a feature of human civilisations for many centuries, they have only become a predominant way of life as a result of industrialisation, with rapid urbanisation meaning that more than half the world’s population now living in cities. This figure is predicted to rise to more than 70% by the second half of the 21st century.		A city is a human settlement with a large population.
