# Editing a city

> Documentation release: **FMRTE 27** (published release).

A city's page holds the details Football Manager keeps for a city, such as its nation, size and location. Everyone born in the city, every stadium in it and any nation with it as capital share the same city. A change applies to all of them.

## Open a city

- Search for its name or ID in [Quick Search](https://docs.fmrte.com/scouting/quick-search.md). Each city row shows its nation's flag, to tell apart cities that share a name.
- Select **City Of Birth** on a player, staff member or official's page.
- Select **Capital** on a nation's [Information](https://docs.fmrte.com/nations/information.md) page.
- Select **Location** on a [stadium's](https://docs.fmrte.com/clubs/stadium.md) Information tab.

The city opens in its own tab, which stays open after **Load Game** like other record tabs.

## City columns

Lists can show a city's details as columns:

| List | City column |
| --- | --- |
| Players and staff | **City of Birth** |
| Nations | **Capital** |
| Stadiums | **Location** |

Each one offers the city's ID, name, nation, region, weather, language, coordinates, altitude, inhabitants and attraction. These columns are read-only, because a city is shared. Edit the city on its own page. Add them with [Add/Remove columns](https://docs.fmrte.com/help/settings.md#choose-columns-and-their-order).
