The following is the list of cities and towns in Belarus. Neither Belarusian no Russian languages do not have equivalent words to English "city" and "town". The word gorad[1] (Belarusian: горад, Russian: город) is used for both. But Belarusian legislature provides the three-level hierarchy[2]. According to the Law under May, 5 1998, the categories of the most developed urban localities in Belarus are as follows:
- capital — Minsk;
- town of oblast surbodinance (Belarusian: горад абласнога падпарадкавання, Russian: город областного подчинения) — urban locality with the population of not less than 50,000 people; it has its own body of self-government, known as Council of Deputies (Belarusian: Савет Дэпутатаў, Russian: Совет депутатов) and an executive committee (Belarusian: выканаўчы камітэт, Russian: исполнительный комитет), which stand on the level with these of a raion (Belarusian: район).
- town of raion surbodinance (Belarusian: горад районнага падпарадкавання, Russian: город районного подчинения) — urban locality with the population of more than 6,000 people; it may have its own body of self-government (Belarusian: Савет Дэпутатаў, Russian: Совет депутатов) and an executive committee (Belarusian: выканаўчы камітэт, Russian: исполнительный комитет), which belong to the same level as these of rural councils and of s.c. haradski pasyolak (Belarusian: гарадскі пасёлак, Russian: городской посёлок) (a type of a smaller urban locality).
This division was inherited by the contemporary Republic of Belarus from BSSR and introduced in 1938[3].
At the beginning of 2010 112 settlements had the status of a city/town. Among them[4]:
- 12 towns of oblast surbodinance;
- 99 towns of raion surbodinance;
- Minsk — the capital of the country.
