“Cities are the absence of physical space between people.”

Simplified Meaning:
When we live in a city, we are very close to each other. There are lots of buildings and people everywhere. Unlike the countryside, where houses are far apart, cities are packed with homes, shops, and offices all nearby. This closeness makes it easy for people to connect and work together. For example, in a city, you can quickly meet friends at a cafe, go to work, or find entertainment because everything is close by. If someone wants to feel connected to others and have many services nearby, living in a city is a good choice. This idea shows how cities help bring people together simply by having everything in one place.
