          Some authorities define a mountain as a peak with a topographic prominence over a defined value: for example, according to the Britannica Student Encyclopedia, the term "generally refers to rises over 2,000 feet (610 metres)".[1]. The Encyclopædia Britannica, on the other hand, does not prescribe any height, merely stating that "the term has no standardized geological meaning".[2]

                      No, Tokyo and Yoko are two different cities with two distinct skylines. They just happen to have grown together. Much like NYC and NJ. You dont think Newark, NJ is same as Manhattan, NYC do you?

                        Of course it's the same city. The difference is purely administrative, and "happening" to be grown together is exactly what defines a city in every other way. You don't think think the City of London is still distinct from the City of Westminster, do you?

                          I wasent aware that the City of Westminster was the capital city of its own prefecture or state.

                            It is technically a separate city. Period. And don't ever consider La Défense to be "Paris" either, because technically it's in Hauts-de-Seine. And those office towers from Manila I posted? Technically not "Manila" either, but Makati. And those highrises in Brussels? Well, technically half of them are in Brussels, another portion in Schaarbeek and the remainder in Sint-Joost-ten-Node. You got municipal borders running straight through the main business district. And I can't consider it to be the same city? Puh-leassss.
