My crappy memory doesn't remember the names, or even where I read of it.
But I did dig
up https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stratford_City and
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_City,_London
even though they don't ring any bells as being ones I read about.  There's
also Rochester,
which used to be a city but no longer is because the unitary authority
cocked up.  And St
David's, which was a city, then wasn't a city, and is back to being a city
again, even though
it has a population of 2,000 and is really just a small town by OSM
standards and by
just about anybody else's standards.
