It’s hard to put in words what makes a city a “city.” Is it the population? Diversity? Density? Culture? Monocle Magazine makes a great observation in their piece City Slickers:

the measure of a city is more about everyday wonders - pavements, well-designed schools, punctual transport - rather than one-off grand projects.

In support of their assertion, they offer 25 urban elements that make a city. Includes bike lockers, trams, well-designed apartments, urban landscaping, convenience store, street clocks, perfect parks, and street seating.
