'''Cardiff''' ({{pron-en|ˈkɑːdɪf|En-uk-Cardiff.ogg}}, {{lang-cy|{{Audio-nohelp|Caerdydd.ogg|''Caerdydd''}}}}) adalah [[ibu negeri]], bandar terbesar dan daerah paling ramai penduduk [[Wales]]. Bandar raya ini adalah pusat komersil utama Wales, tapak untuk kebanyakan institusi budaya dan sukan, media kebangsaan Wales, dan pusat [[Perhimpunan Kebangsaan Wales]]. Menurut anggaran kini, jumlah penduduk [[pihak berkuasa kesatuan|kawasan pihak berkuasa unitari]] adalah 324,800.<ref name="2008 population"/> Cardiff adalah sebuah pusat pelancongan penting dan destinasi pelawat termasyhur di Wales dengan 11.7&nbsp;juta pelawat pada 2006.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.cardiff.gov.uk/ObjView.asp?Object_ID=9200 |title=Steam report |accessdate=2008-05-31}}</ref>

Bandar raya ini merupakan [[bandar kaunti]] bagi [[kaunti bersejarah Wales|kaunti bersejarah]] [[Glamorgan]] (dan kemudian [[South Glamorgan]]). Cardiff merupakan sebahagian rangkaian [[Eurocities]] bagi bandar-bandar terbesar Eropah.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.eurocities.org/ |title=Eurocities |accessdate=2008-05-20}}</ref> [[Cardiff Urban Area]] meliputi kawasan yang sedikit lebih besar, termasuk [[Dinas Powys]], [[Penarth]] dan [[Radyr]]. Suatu bandar kecil sehingga awal abad ke-19, kepentingannya sebagai [[pelabuhan]] utama pengangkutan batu arang di kawasan itu menyumbang kepada pembangunannya menjadi bandar utama.

Cardiff dijadikan [[status bandar raya di United Kingdom|bandar raya]] pada 1905, dan diisytiharkan sebagai [[ibu negeri Wales]] pada 1955. Sejak 1990-an Cardiff telah menyaksikan pembangunan besar dengan kawasan tepian air baru di [[Teluk Cardiff]] yang mengandungi bangunan baru [[Perhimpunan Kebangsaan Wales]] dan kompleks seni [[Wales Millennium Centre]]. [[Pusat bandar Cardiff]] kini dalam pembangunan semula besar. Pusat sukan antarabangsa di bandar ini termasuk [[Stadium Millennium]] ([[ragbi]] dan [[bola sepak]]), [[Stadium SWALEC]] ([[kriket]]) dan [[Stadium Cardiff City]] yang baru dibuka. Bandar ini dianugerahkan ''European City Of Sport in 2009'' kerana peranannya dalam menjadi tuan rumah acara sukan antarabangsa utama.

== Etimologi ==
[[Fail:Cardiff Castle (Roman wall).jpg|thumb|left|The front wall of [[Cardiff Castle]], showing part of the original Roman fort from which the city derived its name.]]

''Caerdydd'' ( [[Welsh bahasa|Welsh]] nama bandar), dan  [[Anglicisation|Inggeris-an]] borang Cardiff, berasal dari  [[Sub-Rom Britain|post-Roman]]  [[Brythonicbahasa|Brythonic]] perkataan yang bermaksud "kubu pada  [[Sungai Taff|Taff]]".  [[Cardiff Roman Fort|kubu]] merujuk kepada yang ditubuhkan oleh  [[Roman Britain|Roma]]. "Dydd" atau "Diff" kedua-dua pengubahsuaian "Taff", sungai di mana [[Istana Cardiff]] berdiri, dengan ''T'' [[lenition|bermutasi]] untuk ''D'' di Welsh. Menurut Profesor Hywel Wyn Owen, pihak berkuasa utama moden pada [[ilmu nama tempat]], sebutan Wales "Caerdyff" sebagai "Caerdydd" menunjukkan sehari-hari  [[silih (linguistik)|silih]]''Welsh "-f" ''dan''"dd "''.< ref nama = hwo> Hywel Wyn Owen,''Tempat-nama Wales'', 1998, ISBN 0-7083-1458-9 </ref>

Antik [[William Camden]] (1551-1623) mencadangkan bahawa nama Cardiff boleh berasal dari nama "Caer-Didi" ("Fort daripada Didius"), yang diberikan dalam menghormati [Aulus Didius Gallus]], Gabenor wilayah berhampiran pada bila-bila masa apabila kubu Roman telah ditubuhkan. Walaupun sesetengah laman web mengulangi teori ini sebagai fakta, ia dipertikaikan oleh ulama-ulama moden atas alasan bahasa, dengan Profesor Gwynedd Pierce [[Universiti Cardiff]] baru-baru ini menyifatkannya sebagai "" sampah "''. <ref> {{memetik Sebuah Nama? - Cardiff | last = Pierce | pertama = Prof Gwynedd O. | publisher = BBC Wales | accessdate = 2008/07/17}} </ref>

== Geografi ==
Pusat Cardiff agak rata dan disempadani oleh bukit-bukit di pinggir timur, utara dan barat. Ciri-ciri geografi adalah berpengaruh dalam pembangunan pelabuhan arang batu terbesar di dunia terutama sekali kedekatan dan akses mudah untuk bidang arang batu di selatan Wales lembah.

Cardiff dibina di atas tanah paya tebus guna di atas katil [[Triassic]] batu-batu, tanah paya tebus guna ini terbentang dari [[Chepstow]] untuk Muara Ely, <ref> {{memetik web | url = http://www.cardiff.

Paling terkenal, bangunan [[Cathays Park]], pusat sivik di pusat bandar, yang dibina daripada [[Portland batu]] yang diimport dari Dorset <ref> {{memetik web | url = http: / / Walks www.swga.org.uk/pdf/CathaysPark.pdf|format=PDF|title=Geological di Wales: Cathays Park | publisher = Persatuan Geologi South Wales | accessdate = 2008/10/22}} </ref> bangunan batu yang digunakan secara meluas di Cardiff kuning kelabu [Awal Jurassic | Liassic]] [[batu kapur]] batu [[Vale of Glamorgan]], termasuk yang jarang berlaku.

Cardiff bersempadan barat oleh daerah luar bandar [[Vale of Glamorgan]] juga dikenali sebagai Taman of Cardiff-<ref> {{memetik web | url = http://www.gardenofcardiff.com/|title = Taman Cardiff | accessdate = 2008/05/20}} </ref> ke timur oleh bandar [[Newport]], utara oleh [[South Wales]] dan di selatan oleh [[Severn River]] dan [[Bristol Channel]]. [[Taff River]] angin melalui pusat bandar dan bersama-sama dengan [[Ely River]] mengalir ke tasik air tawar [[Cardiff Bay]]. Sungai ketiga, [[Rhymney River]] mengalir melalui timur bandar yang memasuki terus ke dalam muara Severn.

Cardiff terletak berdekatan [[Glamorgan]] [[Warisan Pantai]], yang menjangkau ke arah barat dari Penarth dan Barry-komuter bandar-bandar Cardiff dengan berjalur kuning-biru Jurassic cenuram batu kapur. Pantai Glamorgan adalah hanya sebahagian daripada [[Celtic Laut]] yang telah mendedahkan [Jurassic]] ([[biru Lias]]) geologi.

"Inner Cardiff" consists of the following wards: [[Penylan]], [[Plasnewydd]], [[Gabalfa]], [[Roath]], [[Cathays (electoral ward)|Cathays]], [[Adamsdown]] and [[Splott]] ward on the north and east of the city centre, and [[Butetown]], [[Grangetown, Cardiff|Grangetown]], [[Riverside, Cardiff|Riverside]] and [[Canton, Cardiff|Canton]] to the south and west.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cardifflife.net/cardiffwheretolive.html|title=Places to live in Cardiff|publisher=cardifflife.net|accessdate=2009-06-01}}</ref> The inner-city areas to the south of the [[A4161 road]] (known as the "Southern Arc") are, with the exception of Cardiff Bay, some of the poorest districts of Wales with low levels of economic activity.<ref>{{cite book|coauthors=Alan Hooper, John Punter|title=Capital Cardiff 1975-2020: Regeneration, Competitiveness and the Urban Environment|publisher=[[University of Wales Press]]|location=Cardiff|year=2006|page=63|isbn=0708320635|url=http://books.google.com/books?id=Hvud9bNwTisC&pg=PT81&lpg=PT81&dq=%22southern+arc%22+cardiff&source=bl&ots=kl3HKvKt_Z&sig=HtsYIwMoXgSqzopzUF1HTDBKPvY&hl=en&ei=ieojSqbIOd3TjAfKoICsBg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=4}}</ref> On the other hand Gabalfa, Plasnewydd and Cathays north of the 'arc' have very large student populations,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cardiff.ac.uk/for/prospective/pg/life/accommodation/areasofcardiff/index.html|title=Areas of Cardiff|publisher=Cardiff University|accessdate=2008-04-18}}</ref> and Pontcanna (situated north of Riverside and alongside Canton) is a favourite for students and young professionals. [[Penylan]], which lies to the north east side of Roath Park, is an affluent area popular with those with older children and the retired.

"Suburban Cardiff" can be broken down into three distinct areas.{{Or|date=December 2008}} To the west lie [[Ely, Cardiff|Ely]], [[Caerau, Cardiff|Caerau]] and [[Fairwater, Cardiff|Fairwater]] which contain some of the largest housing estates in the United Kingdom. With the exception of some of the outlying privately built estates at Michaelston Super Ely and 1930s developments near Waun-Gron Road, this is an economically disadvantaged area with high numbers of unemployed households. [[Culverhouse Cross]] is a more affluent western area of the city. [[Radyr]], [[Llandaff]], [[Llandaff North]], [[Whitchurch, Cardiff|Whitchurch]] & [[Tongwynlais]], [[Rhiwbina]], [[Heath, Cardiff|Heath]], [[Llanishen]], [[Thornhill, Cardiff|Thornhill]], [[Lisvane]] and [[Cyncoed]] which lie in an arc from the north west to the north east of the centre can be considered the main middle class suburbs of the city. In particular, Cyncoed, [[Radyr]] and Lisvane contain some of the most expensive housing in Wales. Further to the east lie the wards of Pontprennau & Old St Mellons, Rumney, [[Pentwyn, Cardiff|Pentwyn]], [[Llanrumney]] and [[Trowbridge, Cardiff|Trowbridge]]. The latter three are again largely of public housing stock, although new private housing is being built in Trowbridge in considerable number. [[Pontprennau]] is the newest 'suburb' of Cardiff, whilst [[St Mellons|Old St Mellons]] has a history going back to the [[Norman Conquest]] in the 11th century.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.oldstmellons.co.uk/history/|title=Old St Mellons History|accessdate=2008-04-18}}</ref>

To the north west of the city lies a region that may be called "Rural Cardiff" containing the villages of [[St. Fagans]], [[Creigiau]], [[Pentyrch]], [[Tongwynlais]] and [[Gwaelod-y-garth]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cardiff.gov.uk/content.asp?nav=2870%2C3139%2C3158%2C3965&parent_directory_id=2865|title=Landscape Study of Cardiff|date=2008-10-17|publisher=Cardiff County Council|accessdate=2008-10-22}}</ref> St. Fagans, home to the [[Museum of Welsh Life]], is protected from further development.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cardiff.gov.uk/ObjView.asp?Object_ID=9569|title=St Fagans Conservation Area Appraisal|year=2007|publisher=Cardiff County Council|accessdate=2008-04-18}}</ref>

Since 2000, there has been a significant change of scale and building height in Cardiff, with the development of the city centre's first purpose-built high-rise apartments.<ref>{{cite book|last=Hooper|first=Alan|coauthors=Hunter, John|title=Capital Cardiff 1975-2020.

As the capital city of Wales, Cardiff is the main engine of growth in the Welsh economy. The economy of Cardiff and adjacent areas makes up nearly 20% of Welsh GDP and 40% of the city’s workforce are daily in-commuters from the surrounding south Wales area.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.statistics.gov.uk/articles/economic_trends/Sub-regional_&_Local_Area_GDP.pdf|title=Sub-regional and local area gross domestic product|last=Clifton-Fearnside|first=Alex|coauthors=Adam Douglas|date=2002-05-14|publisher=Office of National Statistics|accessdate=2008-04-18|format=PDF}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.statswales.wales.gov.uk/TableViewer/document.aspx?ReportId=4903&IF_Language=isl|title=Statistics on Commuting in Wales|date=2007-12-05|publisher=Statistics for Wales|accessdate=2008-04-18}}</ref>

Industry has played a major part in Cardiff's development for many centuries. The main catalyst for its transformation from a small town into a big city was the demand for coal required in making iron and later steel, brought to the sea by [[packhorse]] from [[Merthyr Tydfil]].

In addition to [[Cardiff Castle]], [[Castell Coch]] ({{lang-en|Red Castle}}) is located in [[Tongwynlais]], in the [[Cardiff North|north]] of the city. The current castle is an elaborately decorated Victorian [[folly]] designed by [[William Burges (architect)|William Burges]] for the Marquess and built in the 1870s, as an occasional retreat. However, the Victorian castle stands on the footings of a much older medieval castle possibly built by [[Ifor Bach]], a regional baron with links to Cardiff Castle also. The exterior has become a popular location for film and television productions. It rarely fulfilled its intended role as a retreat for the Butes, who seldom stayed there. For the Marquess, the pleasure had been in its creation, a pleasure lost following Burges's death in 1881.
