which city is the smallest in the world?

Answer 1

Smallest City in the world



Vatican City - 0.2 square miles - The world's smallest state, the Vatican has a population of 770, no permanent residents. The Vatican city is surrounded by Italy.

Note to mallimalar--it may be considered a state, but it is also a city, with NO permanent residents, and covering only two tenths of a square mile. Therefore, I would say it qualifies.

Answer 2

Because a city is, by definition, larger than a town, village or hamlet, the "smallest city" would be difficult to determine. Depends on criteria for designating what is a city. Samllest city might be a hamlet or "dink in the road" See below:

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A city is an urban area that is differentiated from a town, village, or hamlet by size, population density, importance, or legal status. In most parts of the world, cities are generally substantial and nearly always have an urban core, but in the United States many incorporated areas which have a very modest population, or a suburban or even mostly rural character, are designated as cities. City can also be a synonym for "downtown" or a "city centre".

A city usually consists of residential, industrial and business areas together with administrative functions which may relate to a wider geographical area. A large share of a city's area is primarily taken up by housing, which is then supported by infrastructure such as roads, streets and often public transport routes such as a rapid transit system. Lakes and rivers may be the only undeveloped areas within the city. The study of cities is covered extensively in human geography.

"The city is a human habitat that allows people to form relations with others at various levels of intimacy while remaining entirely anonymous." (This definition was the subject of an exhibition at the Israeli pavilion at the 2000 Venice Biennale of architecture)

Durbuy is the smallest city in the world

Dear friends, some clarification about the status of smallest town : Durbuy is not a town, but a city. 15 years back, it had only about 400 inhabitants, and was thus the smallest city in the world. Now "Durbuy" has fused with some other towns, and has over 8000 inhabitants.


note: Vatican city is a state
