1. Cities are larger than towns and more densely populated.
2. As cities advance, they may sometimes merge with, or incorporate surrounding areas. Towns on the other hand, tend not to do this.
3. The centre of power mainly rests in the cities and not in the towns. Most of the important administrative offices are situated in the cities.
4. Corporate bodies rule the cities; municipalities, the towns. A mayor is the head of a city corporation, while a chairman is the head of a municipality.
5. In the US, ‘city’ is a legal term that means an urban area with autonomous power. In other countries, the word does not have a legal basis but refers to a large settlement.
