`  ::Most of those are too well integrated with the larger metropolis to be satellite cities. Almost all of them are secondary centers within a larger metropolis, which would make them either twin cities or the ``uptown`` variety of edge city. The only one on that list that looks like it could qualify as a satellite city is Lowell. If you need a quick cheat sheet, go to http://www.census.gov/geo/www/maps/ua2kmaps.htm and see if the city has its own urbanized area or is incorporated into a larger one. That isn't a perfect substitute, but it is a pretty good cheat. -  `
