From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The UN defines city proper as "a locality defined according to legal/political boundaries and an administratively recognized urban status that is usually characterized by some form of local government." On this list, the city proper is taken to be the one primarily urban administrative unit that includes the core of the city, if such a unit exists. For cities governed as part of a larger administrative division that also includes significant rural areas, a definition based on official designations of an urban area is used, if such designations exist. If not, the entire administrative division is taken to be the city proper. Only cities proper defined according to the above criteria with populations over three million are listed.

This list of cities in China by population includes all cities proper with a population exceeding two million.

Definitions and sources

[edit]

In China, the word , conventionally translated as "city", is not only used to refer to the city proper, but also to the administrative unit of which the city proper serves as the capital. Such units may range in administrative level from counties (县) to provinces (省). The city proper of direct-controlled cities (直辖市), sub-provincial cities (副省級市) and prefecture-level cities (地级市) is conventionally regarded as comprising all city-controlled districts (市辖区) contiguous with the district where the city headquarters are located. Counties and county-level cities, which retain a higher degree of autonomy and are generally more rural in nature,[2] [3] [4] [5] are not considered part of the city proper.[6] [7] [8] [9] In the cases of Beijing and Chongqing, which contain districts that remain largely rural, an alternative definition of the city proper based on officially designated planning regions is adopted. Prefecture-level cities without any county-level subdivisions (Dongguan, Zhongshan) are treated as cities proper in their entirety, as is the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. There are currently no sub-prefecture-level cities (副地级市) or county-level cities (县级市) with populations over two million.

All population figures reflect the permanent resident population (常住人口), not the registered population (户籍人口). Figures are taken from the latest available estimates in the Economic and Social Development Statistics Bulletin (国民经济和社会发展统计公报) published by the corresponding municipal government, or the latest available Statistical Yearbook (统计年鉴) published by the corresponding municipal or provincial government, or from the 2010 national census. Areas are rounded to the nearest square kilometre and densities to the nearest person per square kilometre.

The city of Fez (second largest in Morocco[19]) is divided administratively into the commune of Fez proper, and the commune of Méchouar Fès-Jdid enclaved within it.[20]

The commune of Fez has an area of 94 square kilometres (36 sq mi) and recorded a population of 1,091,512 in the 2014 Moroccan census. It comprises Fes el-Bali and the modern city, and is divided into six arrondissements:

The commune of Méchouar Fès-Jdid comprises Fes Jdid. It has an area of 1.6 square kilometres (0.62 sq mi) and recorded a population of 20,560 in the 2014 census. It was established in 1992 and possesses a special administrative status as the location of a méchouar or royal palace.[22]

The commune of Fez is governed by a 91-member council elected by direct universal suffrage every six years.[23][24] The arrondissements of Zouagha and Marininyine elect 17 councillors each; Jnane El Ward and Saiss elect 16 councillors each; Agdal elects 13, and Fès-Médina elects 12.[25] Executive power is wielded by a president and ten vice-presidents, which are elected by the council.[26] In 2021, Abdeslam Bekkali, a member of the National Rally of Independents (RNI), succeeded Driss Azami El Idrissi as the new mayor of the commune of Fez.[27]

Like the three other communes in Casablanca, Marrakesh, and Rabat where a royal palace is located, Méchouar Fès-Jdid is governed by special provisions that do not apply to ordinary communes.[28]
