Satellite cities are smaller Municipalities that are adjacent to a major City which is the core of a Metropolitan Area . They differ from mere Subdivision s or Suburbs in that they have their own municipal governments distinct from that of the core Metropolis . In the United States, the term suburb tends to imply separate city government outside of a core city; satellite cities are simply called suburbs and the use of the term satellite city is rare.
