message: Singapore City and the Republic of Singapore are practically non-dual. Historically before 1959 Singapore City was literally the entire mainland before urban development. Back then the Japanese also referred Syonan-To as the entire main island that Singapore today is built upon, you don't just step foot on the Causeway and say things like "an MRT train ride to the Singapore city". While the city area refers inevitably to Shenton, if you go around defining a small circle surrounding the City Hall as the City of Singapore, you end up with a big problem when they further redevelop Jurong East and Lakeside as the hub that is way bigger than Orchard. In fact, whoever redirected Singapore City and City of Singapore to Central Area must have been living in prehistory, these days kids will rather go straight to JEMS than visit what you refer as the "City".
Areas that are considered as non-Singapore City are probably the surrounding islands, e.g. Pulau Ubin. In other words, if you exclude Ubin and Jurong Island from "Singapore City" or even Sentosa Island, I can let you go with one eye closed. In brief, the City of Singapore includes everything from the Changi Airport till the Tuas Checkpoint, the Woodlands Causeway Point till the Marina Barrage, thusly including the Lakeside and Jurong area that will become the next big hub obscuring what is previously Orchard and Dhoby Ghaut in future years where commercial and industrial value is reckoned. Why is this important? Because Johor Bahru itself is a city, if Singapore City excludes Jurong, Changi and Woodlands why will you want a bunch of Boon Lay, Changi and Woodlands folks shopping at a "Singapore City" when it is way cheaper and nearer visiting both JB and even Taiwan or Hainan on an ordinary day? Central Area is the central area. Singapore City and Singapore Island are respectively Singapore City and Singapore Island. The Republic of Singapore can include Ubin and Tekong for all we care. 
However if Central Area is Singapore City and vice versa, I am almost definitely going to Jurong City the next eight years instead of Singapore City if I want to find nice food and shopping. Central Area today is hopeless as a standalone city!

text: OK, I found one source referring it as "City Area" over here  --Lemongirl942 (talk) 09:30, 5 April 2016 (UTC)

text: Could you help out with finding sources for this? --Lemongirl942 (talk) 09:40, 5 April 2016 (UTC)

text: A map here as well  --Lemongirl942 (talk) 09:43, 5 April 2016 (UTC)

text: OK I found these this as well . The "City of Singapore" was the successor to the "Town of Singapore". What we need to make sure is if the Central Area is indeed referred to as the "City of Singapore" or "Singapore City" at present. Let's find sources for it. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 10:02, 5 April 2016 (UTC)

text: I do not see what kind of point you are trying to drive here. I'm not here to argue, I'm here to discuss. So I think we can put this aside and talk about the main topic shall we? -- MageLam (talk) 10:12, 5 April 2016 (UTC)

text: I think you need to do some mediating here. I can feel the drama coming... -- MageLam (talk) 10:12, 5 April 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: No please! OK let's remind ourselves of WP:CIVIL. Let us not say anything sarcastic. Let us just say our points and give reasons and sources. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 10:14, 5 April 2016 (UTC)

text: Sorry, I had to undo your edit (redirect). This is just to avoid breaking current links to "Central Area". The recommended practice is to redirect after in-links have been fixed, not before. (In-links Special:WhatLinksHere/Central_Area). I will fix them gradually. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 12:23, 6 April 2016 (UTC)
