A large settlement of people, typically over 100,000 residents. Most cities are fairly large overcome with roping interstates and glass skyscrapers that blind people with sunlight reflected off of the windows. Most larger cities also have significantly more pollution because of power plants, factories, and cars. Most cities can also be seen as a large glowing dot when viewed from outer space. People sometimes also commute to a city from a small town nearby to work, which could cause a city’s daytime population to rise by a considerable amount.

The Bronx is not "the city."
Queens is not "the city."
And Staten Island CERTAINLY is not "the city."
And Long Island isn't even a borough.

"the city" is used by anyone who lives around Chicago to refer to it. If you say "I'm going into Chicago" people will look at you wierd.
