What is a city?
A city is a large and permanent human settlement. Although
there is no agreement on how a city is distinguished from a
town in general English language meanings, many cities have a
particular administrative, legal, or historical status based on local
law.
Cities generally have complex systems for sanitation,
utilities, land usage, housing, and transportation. The
concentration of development greatly facilitates interaction
between people and businesses, benefiting both parties in the
process, but it also presents challenges to managing urban
growth. A
big
city
or metropolis usually
has
associated suburbs and exurbs. Such cities are usually associated
with metropolitan areas and urban areas, creating numerous
business commuters traveling to urban centers for employment.
Once a city expands far enough to reach another city, this region
can be deemed a conurbation or megalopolis.
The first cities were made in ancient times, as soon as
people began to create civilization.

What is a city made of?

A city is made up of the society that built it. In the United
Kingdom, a city is a town which people have always called a city,
or which has got the name "city" status by royal charter (a special
paper from the king or queen). Cities usually get this because
they have a special number of people or are important. In the

past, cities got that name if they had a cathedral or a university.

Some cathedral cities, for example St David's, are small, and
people do not normally think of them as cities. Cities that became
cities because of their university generally grow because more
people move there to be educated at the university colleges.
Cities can be exciting places to live, and many people can
find good jobs there Modern cities with modern transport systems
can grow very large, because the streets are wide enough for
cars, buses and trucks, and there are often railway lines as well.
