How to use "City" in context?
There is no single answer to what makes a city great. For some, a city's appeal may be its history and its culture. For others, a city's power to create opportunity and give its residents a sense of community might be the key. Regardless of what makes a city great to an individual, there are some key factors that are common to all great cities.
Great cities have dense populations and a mix of different types of buildings. They are often located in historic areas with lots of designated parks and often have a river or other waterway nearby. They have a diverse economy that includes a wide range of businesses and industries.
