This City

"This City" is a song by American recording artist Patrick Stump from his debut solo album Soul Punk (2011), released on Island Records. A remix featuring rapper Lupe Fiasco was released as the album's first single (despite the album being a pure solo effort). After finishing his album, Stump decided to re-write Soul Punk after coming up with "This City".

The remix was first uploaded to YouTube for streaming on June 28, 2011 and was later made available for download on iTunes and other digital retailers on July 26, 2011, and that version has been sent out to radio with some commercial success. An accompanying music video for it has been released. The single peaked at No. 2 on the US Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart, equivalent to No. 102 on the Billboard Hot 100.

The Soul Punk version was included on Spin magazine's Lollapalooza mixtape (2011) for free download in the wake of Stump's performance at the music festival in Chicago. Stump has performed the song at his concerts, at radio interviews and on his guest TV appearance on Good Morning New Orleans. The remix of "This City" was included as a bonus track on both standard and deluxe editions of Soul Punk as part of his label's idea.

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. In terms of population, the largest city proper is Shanghai, while the fastest-growing is Dubai.

Origins

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.
