City - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A city is an urban area that is differentiated from a town, village, or hamlet by size, population density, importance, or legal status. In Continental Europe cities with a legislature of their own weren't unheard of, the laws for towns as a rule other than for the countryside, the lord of a town often being another than for surrounding land. Although city can refer to an agglomeration including suburban and satellite areas, the term is not usually applied to a conurbation (cluster) of distinct urban places, nor for a wider metropolitan area including more than one city, each acting as a focus for parts of the area. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/City   (3374 words)
