  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.
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.
In Paris, the inner city is the richest part of the metropolitan area, where housing is the most expensive, and where elites and high-income individuals dwell.

 Inner city - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An inner city is the central area of a major city.
In the United States and United Kingdom, the term is often applied to the poorer parts of the city centre and is sometimes used as a euphemism with the connotation of being an area, perhaps a ghetto, where people are less educated and wealthy and where there is more crime.
For instance, in Paris the inner city is the richest part of the metropolitan area, where housing is the most expensive, and where elites and high-income individuals dwell.

 Inner City Sound - music archive - swapping CD-R, not for sale.
Inner City Sound is the classic documentary account of the explosive development of that scene in the inner cities of Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney, Perth and Adelaide.
Inner City Sound was first published in Australia in late 1981 as the postpunk scene was approaching its zenith, but soon fell out of print.
Inner City Sound provides proof positive that Australia contributed as much as anyone to the D-I-Y revolution of the late 70s/early 80s: Over forty tracks, restored to a virgin vinyl glory, that still ring fresh and true, a mix of classics and rarities, many appearing on CD for the first time.

 JS Online: Economic revival looks to inner city
Porter emphasized that the inner city is not an "economic dinosaur" but a critical part of the local economy where 120,000 people are employed in 5,000 businesses.
The inner city has four assets that are key to metro economic development: a strategic central location that can lower transportation costs for industry, available land for expansion, a potential work force for a region that sometimes must import laborers, and an under-served market of consumers.
Porter acknowledged the inner city has some disadvantages, notably crime, which the planning document called "a showstopper." Without safety concerns being addressed, the document notes, it will be difficult to get business process service centers to locate there.
