The central focus of the paper involves an attempt to identify the more significant differences between the city and the region in terms of their respective modes of spatial organization. This is undertaken from three broad perspectives. The first compares the individual city and the individual region as independent entities, while the second perspective considers the city in relation to the region in which it is located. A third perspective is concerned with a system of cities in comparison with a system of regions. The latter part of the discussion examines alternative definitions of the city, and the extent to which these may be regarded as satisfactory.
