Brunette Girl Outside Above The City In The Swimming Pool

In Poland the word miasto serves for both town and city. Miasto is the term applied purely on the basis of the administrative decision of the central government, and specifically means either:
- a county (gmina or powiat) with a city charter;
- a city within a county, created by granting a city charter to a smaller town within a county.
These formal distinctions may differentiate larger towns from smaller ones (such as status as a separate powiat, or the conferring of the title prezydent on the mayor rather than burmistrz), but none of these is universally recognized as equivalent to the English city/town distinction.
