English term or phrase: subcity
A big city, or metropolis, is usually accompanied by a subcity; for example, Aurora, Colorado is a subcity of Denver, Colorado. Such cities also contain large amounts of urban sprawl, creating large amounts of business commuters. Once a city sprawls far enough to reach another city, this region can be deemed a megalopolis, or a cluster of urban areas.

Explanation:
Iesniegtais konteksts sakrīt ar to, kas teikts Vikipēdijā par "satellite city", tātad tie ir sinonīmi (protams, "subcity" neizklausās īpaši normāli angliski; neoloģisms?).

"They differ from mere suburbs, subdivisions and especially bedroom communities in that they have municipal governments distinct from that of the core metropolis and employment bases sufficient to support their residential populations."

neutral  Janis Auzins: Bet ko un uz kurieni viņa pavada? - Vienkārši aizstāvot pašam savu versiju, "satelles" latīņu val. nav saistīts ar darb. vārdu; "pavadonis" tomēr apzīmē kaut ko kustīgu, vismaz man tā liekas

  -> Tā "pavada" attiecīgo lielo pilsētu - vēstures, tautsaimniecības u.c. attīstības gaitā (vismaz kādā aplūkojamā laikposmā).
agree  Evija Rimšāne: ja gadījumā "subcity" tiešām ir sinonīms "satellite city", tad, ieskatoties dažos avotos internetā, "pavadoņpilsēta" būs pareizais apzīmējums. Un "pavadonis", starp citu, ir korektāks "satellite" tulkojums latviešu valodā

piepilsēta


Explanation:
visai iespējams, ka to sauc par "piepilsētu". Neesmu droša, bet šķiet, ka tā varētu būt. Piemēram, citāts: "Baldonē, kas ir Rīgas piepilsēta, iedzīvotājiem ir svarīgi izbaudīt galvaspilsētai līdzvērtīgu komfortu veikalu piedāvājuma ziņā..." http://www.elvi.lv/Jaunumi/article.php?id=2427
Patiesībā, ja googlē ieraksta vārdu piepilsēta, var atrast visai daudz līdzīgu atsauču:)

P.S. Ļoti atvainojos Jānim Auziņam par viņa "pievienošanu" Rīgai! Tiešām negribēju.... :)
