island city
Water-surrounded urban center
An island city is a city located entirely on an island, such as Manhattan, Venice, or Singapore.
The term may also describe a city that functions as an isolated enclave—politically, culturally, or geographically distinct from its surroundings: West Berlin was an island city in the middle of East Germany.
