| 释义 | central city noun[ C ] geography USspecializeduk /ˌsen.trəl ˈsɪt.i/ us /ˌsen.trəl ˈsɪt̬.i/ a city that is at the centre of a metropolitan area (= one that consists of a city and its surrounding areas): Although leafy and residential, the area was part of the central city, not the suburbs. Suburban growth was seen as a solution to the problems associated with congested central cities. Factories were usually located outside of the central cities, and working-class suburbs grew up around them. The abandonment of the central city by families, businesses, and even churches created the conditions for high concentrations of people with few options. Many residents wanted to escape declining city services by moving away from the central city.
