  City - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A city is an urban area, differentiated from a town, village, or hamlet by size, population density, importance, or legal status.
Although city can refer to an agglomeration including suburban and satellite areas, the term is not appropriate for 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.
For instance the City of South Perth is part of the urban area known as Perth, commonly described as a city.

City staff discussed the impact of the transfer of the City’s steam electric rights to joint steam and municipal uses.
It was concluded that joint use of the city’s steam electric water rights as municipal rights had zero impact on water availability at Town Lake, since the water demand distribution for steam electric rights in the model are the same for the City’s municipal and steam electric rights.
During this period, the City was experiencing growth and, according to contemporary news articles, recognized that an unfavorable decision by the TWC on the City’s water rights could force the City to buy water from the LCRA at a cost of up to $10 million a year.
