Cities in the UK are officially divided into subdivisions known as wards, which correspond to groups of neighbourhoods atypically.

In Birmingham, these wards are grouped together in what is known as a council constituency, which are informally referred to as 'districts.'

It is important to note that city status in the United Kingdom is awarded to local government areas, rather than to single settlements in many cases, so for example, the City of Leeds comprises the Leeds settlement, and a series of other towns such as Otley, Pudsey and Wetherby which are not contiguous with the main settlement.

In the latter case, the city is still split into wards, but some towns in Leeds are also part of something called a civil parish. This allows them to be titled as a 'town' within a local government district that may be designated as a "city."
