place=city describes the "landused part" of a city or better the urban 
area of a city; normally surrounded with gateway-signs.
boundary=administrative (+ admin_level) describes the administrative 
area (the core-city itself plus surrounding areas e.g. fields/farms with 
belongs to the city as well)
