Ipswich in England is a large town with an estimated population of 170,000. It has applied for city status twice since 1980, but both bids have been rejected. A recent vote from residents showed that the majority do not wish to leave 'town' status.

Ipswich in Australia is a city. Although its population is only 155,000, it was awarded city status in 1904, even though its population was only around 10,000. Australia's standards for city status are much lower than in more populated countries of the world.
