Adjectivecity SynonymsFrom Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. A city is a relatively large and permanent settlement, particularly a large urban settlement. Although there is no agreement on technical definitions distinguishing a city from a town within general English language meanings, many cities have a particular administrative, legal, or historical status based on local law. For example, an article of incorporation approved by the local cognizant (state) legislature separates towns from city government forms, rights, duties and privileges in Massachusetts, and similar distinctions are made across the world, particularly in former colonies of the United Kingdom. Historically, in Europe, a city was understood to be an urban settlement with a cathedral; in later usages, especially in the United Kingdom and parts of Commonwealth of Nations, a city was a settlement with a royal charter. Cities generally have advanced systems for sanitation, utilities, land usage, housing, and transportation and more.

Hot, new neighborhoods with lofts, cafes, boutiques, restaurants are always going to attract young urban proffessionals. And if it takes tax breaks for small businesses to come back to Pittsburgh, then try that. It seems like you have a PR problem. Offer student loan forgiveness for city jobs.
