*************
Coventry (i/'k?v?ntri/)[2] is a city and metropolitan borough in the county of West Midlands in England. Coventry is the 12th largest UK city overall (outside of London).[3] It is also the second largest city in the West Midlands region, after Birmingham, with a population of 316,900 at the 2011 UK census.[4]
Historically within Warwickshire, Coventry is situated 95 miles (153 km) northwest of central London and 19 miles (31 km) east-southeast of Birmingham, and is further from the coast than any other city in Britain. Although harbouring a population of almost a third of a million inhabitants, Coventry is not amongst the English Core Cities Group due to its proximity to Birmingham.
Coventry was the world's first twin city when it formed a twinning relationship with the Russian city of Stalingrad (now Volgograd) during World War II. The relationship developed through ordinary people in Coventry who wanted to show their support for the Soviet Red Army during the Battle of Stalingrad.[5] The city is now also twinned with Dresden, Lidice and 23 other cities around the world.[6] A part of the City Centre at the entrance to the lower shopping precinct was named Lidice Place.
Coventry Cathedral is one of the newer cathedral buildings, having been built after the destruction of the ancient cathedral by the Luftwaffe in November 1940. Coventry motor companies have contributed significantly to the British motor industry, and it has two universities, the city centre-based Coventry University and the University of Warwick on the southern outskirts.
