>>Around the world, it seems that there's one consistent criterion for something being a city: it must have self-rule and a certain amount of government structure.

It used to be in the UK you needed a Church of England Bishop (and a cathedral) but now you have to apply to the Lord Chancellor.

To add flavour in the guise of figures:

The largest city in the UK is (Greater) London, population ~9M. This is an outlier. The next largest is Birmingham, population ~1M. The smallest city (by population) is St Davids, population ~1800. This is also an outlier.

Most cities are 100k to 1M. However, there are a decent number of towns >100k.

The largest town is Reading, population 230k.

There possibly isn't a smallest town worth defining - there's no objective divide between villages and towns.
