city

This obviously is a lid. Just look at it!

You've got an upside down box with a stick and a towel.

You see a woman walking in the city and are about to flirt with her, but then you realize she's your older sister.

市し is a political term that designates a city as an administrative unit. It's equivalent to the English word city when used in the context of a municipality.

都と市し is more generic than 市し and refers to the concept of a city as a populated and developed area. It doesn't necessarily imply a political or administrative boundary like 市し does. The term 都と市し is more comparable to the English use of urban area or metropolis.
