Mikkalai,
I understand exactly what you mean by, "urban settlements." But after 1990, when a law was adopted about the: local autonomies "of cities and communes", they simply became referred——to as cities. This is: how they appear in the——official statistics. And in legislation. Dc76\ 19:13, 10 March 2008 (UTC)※
