市 and 市立 - what's the difference?
I am learning kanji right now and try to understand the difference between 市 and 市立.
As far as I know 市 is more like a bigger city and 市立 is more countryside like. Is that correct?

Answer

I am not sure where and how you found those two words, but 市 and 市立　is quite different each other. That is, 市 is city, and 市立 is municipal. For example, 市立図書館 municipal library/ library the city built and operate, 市立病院　municipal hospital/ hospital the city built and operate, etc.
