Talking about towns and cities

This post contains language that you can use to talk about towns and cities in English language exam tasks and in everyday conversation. Whether youโ€™re verbally comparing and contrasting two pictures or writing an essay about the benefits of living in a city as part of a Cambridge Assessment English Exam; or, just tell a work colleague about a weekend trip to another town. Having a range of descriptive vocabulary for talking about these environments can be very useful.
