Explanation:
gmina miejska = municipality

If you search the ProZ Glossary setting it to Pol>Eng and using the key word "gmina," you will find 4 related entries.

Gmina IS a commune, however, for some reason, in corporate translations and also in English-language newspapers (WBJ) and other similar publications in Warsaw (PNB, etc.) I see "gmina" being used a lot in English, just as "poviat" is (plural: gminas, poviats). Like it or not, that's also part of globalization.
