True McTim. It states

"ICANN requires applicants for geo TLDs to provide a documentation of
support or non-objection from relevant government(s) or authority (ies).
The same documentation is required to entities applying for a city name
unless if the name will only be used for a generic term brand. If there is
multiple applications on a particular city name, applicants are required to
resolve the competition among themselves."
