City region refers to one of the following :
Answer: C
A city region is an area around the city over which the city exercises a dominant influence in relation to other neighbouring cities of equal importance.
The concept, associated with R. E. Dickinson, describes the umland or sphere of influence of a city: the surrounding area tied to it for services, trade, employment, news and administration, where its pull is stronger than that of any competing city of similar rank.
An administratively demarcated area is a municipal or district unit, not a functional region. Transport linkage alone does not define dominance, since a city has links far beyond its region. An area supplying food and labour describes only part of the hinterland's role, and it lies around the city, not within it.
