| | City - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Although city can refer to an agglomeration including suburban and satellite areas, the term is not appropriate for a conurbation (cluster) of distinct urban places, nor for a wider metropolitan area including more than one city, each acting as a focus for parts of the area. | | | Following this view of cities, it is possible to rank the world's cities hierarchically (John Friedmann and Goetz Wolff, "World City Formation: An Agenda for Research and Action," International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, 6, no. 3 (1982): 319). | | | A city is an urban area that is differentiated from a town, village, or hamlet by size, population density, importance, or legal status. |

| | City-state - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Until 1870, the city of Rome had been controlled by the pope as part of his "papal states". | | | Because he could not travel through a place that he did not admit existed, Pius IX and his successors each claimed to be a "Prisoner in the Vatican", unable to leave the 0.17-square mile (440,000 m²) papal enclave once they had ascended the papal throne. | | | On September 12, 1919, D'Annunzio led the Arditi into Fiume, and seized control of the city. |

| | Texas Lawyer -- Bell v. City of Dallas |
| | The Bells subsequently sued Johnson Brothers and the City for negligence and gross negligence and sued the City for promissory estoppel, and inverse condemnation and non-negligent nuisance under the Texas Constitution. | | | Finally, the Bells complain that the trial court erred in granting the plea to the jurisdiction with respect to their claims for non-negligent nuisance and inverse condemnation because the City does not enjoy immunity from those claims. | | | According to the City, a plaintiff suing a governmental entity cannot create jurisdiction by stating a takings claim unless that claim is facially valid. |

The citizens claim their civil rights were violated when the city of Gary and its officials cut off the supply of application forms for handgun permits. | | | Therefore, the city argues, the jury's verdict could not possibly be based on an alleged equal protection violation. |

| | The City next argues that it is entitled to a new trial on Jones' counterclaims because, read in sequence, jury instructions 8, 9, and 10 were inconsistent, and the jury did not properly complete the verdict forms. | | | The City next argues that, even if the trial court properly directed a verdict in favor of Jones, the directed verdict in favor of Travelers on the Citys bad faith claim was error. | | | The City further contends that lack of evidence apportioning damages was not a fatal defect in its prima facie case, but instead was Jones burden under the affirmative defense of mitigation. |
