The context is:
- In Wales, there are 22 Unitary Authorities including the city of Cardiff (here today), the Welsh national capital.
- In Scotland there are 32 Unitary Authorities including the city of Glasgow, which is here today;
I have one more sentence, but in all of them the structure is the same: "This country is divided into xxx units including the city of xxx, (which is) here today", but I quite don't see the point in saying that. Maybe because of the changing and special administrative structure of Great Britain? How could I translate it in the text? As I see it, it has nothing to do with "here today, tomorrow gone". Thanks for your help.

Si el contexto lo permite, puede tratarse de una referencia al hecho de que un representante de la ciudad está presente en la reunión o seminario o evento... "Está presente aquí hoy"
Note from asker:
| Ya lo había pensado, pero salvo que sea un error que se le haya colado al autor al "reaprovechar" un texto que usó en una conferencia, no puede ser porque esto es para una publicación. Muchas gracias de todos modos |

Comment: "Gracias a las sugerencias de Luis Javier y Lydia y las de Ruth he llegado a la conclusión de que debe de tratarse de un "saludo" a los representantes de esas ciudades que estaban presentes cuando se leyó este texto (sé que ha habido reuniones previas a la publicación), y que al autor se le olvidó eliminar en la versión para publicar, que es la que yo tengo, así que sugeriré a mi cliente que se omita. Por lo demás, la respuesta me parece estupenda para el texto de una conferencia. ¡Muchas gracias a todos!"

aquí y ahora/a día de hoy
I think Lydia's idea makes a lot of sense - it sounds as if it is talking of delegations or representatives of the city that are present -
