Metropolis is a term used to describe a large city, often the center of commerce and culture. The antonyms of metropolis are small town, village, and hamlet. These are places that are often characterized by their remote location, sparse population, and limited resources. Unlike the bustling metropolis, the small town offers a quieter and more relaxed way of life. Residents of these towns enjoy a strong sense of community and closeness. Hamlets, on the other hand, are even smaller and more isolated, often located in rural areas. Nevertheless, these places are still essential parts of many people's lives, as they provide a sense of belonging and identity.
