There are 77 cities in Latvia (Latvian: Pilsētas). By Latvian law city rights are granted to settlements that are centers of culture and manufacturing with well developed social infrastructure and public utilities, and have at least 2000 residents, however in special cases, if settlement fullfils all other requirements, it can have fewer residents to become a city. The cities are further divided in Regional cities (Latvian: Rajonu pilsētas) and Cities of Republic (Latvian: Republikas pilsētas) more comonly known as major cities (Latvian: Lielpilsētas). To become large city, a city must have well developed industry, transport, public utilities and social infrastructure or sinificant center of culture and social care, if the city has at least 50000 residents, however, again, in special cases, if settlement fullfils all other requirements, it can have less residents to become major city.
