Manchester is a city in England, considered by many to be the country's second city "Manchester 'England's second city'", BBC, 12 September 2002, retrieved 2 May 2006."Manchester 'close to second city'", BBC, 29 September 2005, retrieved 2 May 2006.. It is a centre of the arts, the media, higher education and big business. The city is well-known for its sport, being home to the world famous Manchester United football club, Manchester City football club and the Lancashire County Cricket Club, and having hosted the XVII Commonwealth Games in 2002. The city centre is on a "tentative list" of UNESCO World Heritage Sites—mainly based around its network of canals and mills, which facilitated its development during the Industrial Revolution of the nineteenth century*.
The city is named from the old Roman name Mamuciam, thought to be a latinisation of the original Celtic name (possibly mamm meaning 'breast' or 'breast-like hill'), plus the Old English ceaster, derived from the Latin castra, meaning "camp". Manchester is a metropolitan borough with city status. The city has a population of 437,000, whilst the wider conurbation, known as the Greater Manchester Urban Area, has a population of 2,240,230 11 million people live within 60 minutes drive of Manchester.
