Statutory city (Czech Republic)
High-level administrative division in Czechia / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the Czech Republic, a statutory city (Czech: statutární město) is a municipal corporation that has been granted city status by Act of Parliament. It is more prestigious than the simple title město ("town"), which can be awarded by the cabinet and chair of the Chamber of Deputies to a municipality which applies for it.
