A provincial city (Vietnamese: thành phố thuộc tỉnh) is a type of second-level subdivision of Vietnam. It has equal status along with urban districts, districts, municipal cities, and towns.[1] Also by virtue of Decree No. 42/2009/ND-CP, provincial cities are officially classified into Class-1, Class-2 or Class-3.[2]
The cities can only subordinate to provinces as a second-tier unit. At the third tier, provincial cities are divided into wards and communes, the latter of which apply to the more suburban parts.
