What makes a "city" to me has nothing to do with subdivisions. The best way to know, is to look at where the lights are, and are not, from aerial photographs from space, or an airplane high up.

Agreed - sort of..  The lights won't tell us whether it is one or several cities. Check out the Bay Area on your aerial photograph, or Baltimore/ D.C.  Not to mention the Twin Cities..

As I said, legal boundaries have no real meaning to me, when it comes to what the polis means.
