A "County-Level City" is a type of administrative division in some countries, particularly in China. These cities are governed at the same level as counties and have their own local governments. They often serve as important urban centers within a province, providing various services and infrastructure to residents. County-level cities can include both large cities and smaller urban areas. They typically have a significant degree of autonomy, allowing them to manage local economic development, education, and public services. This structure helps facilitate urbanization and regional development within the broader context of the national governance system.
