People often refer to these financial institutions as the City. a foreign bank in the City The City fears that profits could fall. A city is a large town. the city of Bologna. a busy city centre. an area in central London where there are many large banks and financial organizations, including The Bank of England and The Stock Exchange. The City has an area of about one square mile (about 2.5 square kilometres), and it is sometimes called "the Square Mile", especially in newspapers. Its name is sometimes used to mean the people who work there and make important financial decisions. There is a similar area in New York City called Wall Street. Relatively permanent and highly organized centre of population, of greater size or importance than a town or village. The first cities appeared in Neolithic times when the development of agricultural techniques assured surplus crop yields large enough to sustain a permanent population. Ancient Greece saw the creation of the city-state, a form also important in the emergence of the Roman empire as well as the medieval Italian trading centers of Venice, Genoa, and Florence. After the Middle Ages, cities came increasingly under the political control of centralized government and served the interests of the nation-state. The Industrial Revolution further transformed city life, as factory cities blossomed rapidly in England, northwestern Europe, and the northeastern U.S. By the mid-20th century, 30-60% of a country's population might be living in its major urban centers. With the rise of the automobile came the growth of suburbs and urban sprawl, as factories, offices, and residences erected in earlier periods became aged and obsolete. Today many cities suffer from lack of adequate housing, sanitation, recreational space, and transportation facilities, and face problems of inner-city decay or burgeoning shantytowns. Local governments have sought to alleviate these problems through urban planning.
