neighboring cities
Towns sharing borders
Neighboring cities are cities located near each other, typically sharing borders or situated in close proximity within a region.
The term implies geographic relationship rather than political connection: Traffic between the neighboring cities creates daily congestion.
Neighboring cities often share infrastructure, economic ties, or cultural overlap while maintaining separate governments.
