Named used in legislation is 'City of St Albans', so it is the district that has the status of the city. [1] has "[2] The non-metropolitan district of St Albans has the status of a City." Morwen - Talk 10:21, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
if st albans population is around 50,000, firstly sources are needed to substantiate this, and second the population needs to be changed in the 'st albans' article to this figure, as that article refers to the city alone and NOT the district as a whole. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Tescoid ( talk • contribs) 10:19, 5 April 2007 (UTC).

City of St Albans → St Albans City and District – In order to prevent confusion between the city called St Albans and the administrative district in which it lies, the article about the administrative district should use its official name, "St Albans City and District". Pelarmian ( talk) 18:55, 27 February 2016 (UTC)
St Albans, main urban area of the City and District of St Albans in southern Hertfordshire, England. So, the DAB page thinks that 'St Albans' is the main urban area of a political unit called 'City and District of St Albans'. But our article on St Albans doesn't say it is a 'main urban area', it just says it is a 'city'. Does this 'city' have a city government, a mayor, etc? Or does *only* the City and District have a government. Also, if 'City and District of St Albans' is something different from the city called 'St Albans', why don't these two things have separate entries on the DAB page? Thanks for any clarification.

We need a better entry than this, which sounds like a promotional leaflet if it isn't actually copied from one: "The City and District of St Albans has a strong local economy, a highly skilled workforce, an excellent location for rail, road and airports and is seen by many employers as a desirable place to be. The District also benefits from the proximity of the University of Hertfordshire, based close by at Hatfield, which is one of the country’s leading business orientated universities." Description of principal economic activities, major employers, types of occupation, description of workforce skills and education, effect of proximity to London in terms of commuting, etc. Pelarmian ( talk) 17:57, 29 February 2016 (UTC)
