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. In terms of population, the largest city proper is Shanghai, while the fastest-growing is Dubai.
There is not enough evidence to assert what conditions gave rise to the first cities. Some theorists have speculated on what they consider suitable pre-conditions and basic mechanisms that might have been important driving forces.
Oh oh oh ... Blurring facing evasive evolving
747 lands I go out strolling
Pacing lacing up the shoes
That depict a kind of blues
Get a paper read the news
Oh so many cities
Are going around in my head
Take me back to where I might belong
Traipsing trading with strangers and romance
Learnt about the nights where you live like your last
chance
Oh oh oh ... I'm going to rocket with bus across the
sky
Gonna catch a train through the sea
Then steal some fire
Hold on baby while the stage lights eve
When the beat ignites us Prometheus is free
Oh so many cities
Are going around in my head
Take us back to where we might belong
Oh so many people
Rolled up on these shoulders
Something give me grace oh darling please
Blurring facing evasive evolving
747 lands I go out strolling
Pacing lacing up the shoes
That depict a kind of blues
Get a paper read the news
She was a fountain in the desert and a tropical sea
Our caravan stopped temporarily
