| | City (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19) |
 | | 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. |
 | | In the United Kingdom, a city is a town which has been known as a city since time immemorial, or which has received city status by royal charter — which is normally granted on the basis of size, importance or royal connection (traditional pointers have been whether the town has a cathedral or a university). |
