What is a city?

Is it the buildings that stand? If so, then when those buildings fall down and are replaced, is it still the city,  or is it a new one?

Is it the people that make it the city? If so, when they die is it still the city, or is it a new one?

Is it just the label that makes a city? If so, then to destroy it, you simply rename it.

Or use Godzilla.

The City exists independently of these things.

Wherever 3 or more humans gather together in the name of stupidity, The City is with them.

Well that makes it even easier.... Just get Godzilla and Mothra and kill all humans.

If it were really, honestly that easy, we wouldn't be having this conversation right now.  Because we'd be monster poop.

My shit list: Stephen Harper, anarchists that complain about taxes instead of institutionalized torture, those people walking, anyone who lets a single aspect of themselves define their entire personality, salesmen that don't smoke pipes, Fredericton New Brunswick, bigots, philosophy majors, my nemesis, pirates that don't do anything, criminals without class, sociopaths, narcissists, furries, juggalos, foes.

Right, right.  All that concrete and steel is just a figment of our imagination.

So is the sewer system, the electrical infrastructure, and the garbage removal.

Just an idea.

What is the difference between a large town and a small city?
And a city needs none of those things. In England any settlement can be given a charter and become a city, in other places you need a cathedral or have a certain population size.

Yes, its a shame that a the city is a easily defined concept all over the world, otherwise people could use weak semantic arguments in the face of the word having a lack of substance.
