For others the populace. Maybe for others everything that makes up a city. So both the location, people, their stuff, how they live when there, all of it. I'd suggest a Ruin is a city that has been abandoned, so it doesn't have to strictly be called such. But it has a history revealed in its ruins of what happened there (and thereafter).Meerkat burrows could be a town. A wasp nest could be a city. Armies build cities in an evening and leave few remains behind the next morning.IOW, a dungeon may be a city too. And a city a dungeon.If you want an interesting city, take inspiration from what interests you. You liked Lion King? That was a veritable kingdom made up of animals.Maybe you prefer Downton Abbey? A self-contained hamlet near a small town.Or Bartertown, post-apocalyptic survival where "electricity, vehicles, and functioning technology depend on a crude methane refinery fueled by pig feces."I'm sure you and your players have some favorites of your own.</blockquote>
