I like the city , but in July it is too hot .

The concert was loud enough for everyone in the city to hear .

The difference in housing costs from city to city is especially important .

There are several parks located within the city .

These buildings went on to become the most modern monument of the modern city .

They fortified the city with a wall with ten gates .
