The City of Bradford is a local government district in West Yorkshire county. Though named after its largest settlement, its area is far larger because the towns of Keighley, Shipley, Bingley and Ilkley are included. In addition, with a population of 1.5 million, Bradford is the fourth most populous metropolitan district and the sixth most populous local authority district in Britain.

One of the aspects which make Bradford stand out among other cities is the fact that more than half of its area is green open space. Stretched from the Airedale and Wharfedale Valleys to the hills and Pennine moorland, this green belt gives the city a more environment-friendly atmosphere. In addition, the architecture of Bradford is known across the country for its historical importance. There are more than 5,500 listed buildings, including the model village of Saltaire, which is listed as a World Heritage Site.

One of the reasons behind the city’s popularity is its strong economy which doesn’t only depend on tourism and textile manufacture, but also thrives from tourism, information technology, financial services and cultural industries.
