In British English, "The City" is a common name for the City of London or, more generally, as the collective noun for the financial entities based there. In Canada, the term refers to the city of Toronto - most Canadians will use it to mean the GTA but locals will only use it for the municipal area, with the suburbs being known as the 905. In Australia, the term can refer to the capital city of a state or to the CBD of a city. The term is also used for San Francisco, California by residents of the San Francisco Bay Area, even those living in area cities that are now larger than San Francisco. The term is also used for Manhattan by residents of New York City and of the surrounding areas. This term is also referred to the city proper of Chicago. Locals refer to the area inside the proper city limits as The City, whilst everything else is Chicago, or Chicagoland. The term (in Slovak: "mesto") is also used for Koice Downtown by residents of Koice, Slovakia and of the surrounding areas.
