Cities differ from towns in the size, density, and diversity of their population. The city offers a wider variety of goods and services, as well as more extensive employment and cultural opportunities.City life is characterized by impersonal and formal social relationships, greater privacy, and more lifestyle choices--a way of life referred to as urbanism. The urban spirit is sophisticated and dynamic, stimulating the mind through contrasts and encouraging tolerance of differences.

The urban spirit spreads beyond the city via the mass media: television, movies, music, and the Internet.
