In the Capitalization of City, Town, and Village [duplicate]

I am aware that when referring to "the City of," you should capitalize the word "city." I am just wondering, do you still capitalize the word "city" if it comes after the name of the city rather than before?

This was a direct quote I am writing so I cannot change the way it was said. But the person said "Albany city said we could recruit there." He is referring to a school district in the City of Albany. Would city be capitalized? Thanks so much in advance.

Solution 1:

Unless "city" is part of the name (i.e. "Carson City" or "New York City"), it's not capitalized after the city's name. Even used before (as in "City of"), the capitalization only happens if the title of the city in question actually has that name ("City of London", "City of New York").
