The word city is derived from the Latin word ‘civitas’, which means ‘citizenship’ or member of a community. A city is a vast area with a lot of people living in it with housing, transportation, sanitation, utilities, land usage, products manufacturing, and communication. A city may be defined as a densely populated urban region. A city’s population might range from a few hundred to ten million people. It usually includes residential, industrial, and commercial areas, as well as administrative responsibilities and services. – Reproduced
