City Written by Paula Long     City A city is a large and permanent settlement.  In general, more people live in a city than in a town. The buildings in cities are usually closer together than those in smaller towns or suburbs. Cities usually have a local government made up of a Mayor and City Council.   Last Updated ( Tuesday, 09 June 2009 )   < Prev   Next > [ Back ]
