Hoi, Many of such baggage is legacy of Wikipedia. There is no point in storing that a city is in any specific place or of a specific size by making it what it is. It is all implied. The category:Scottish city can be implied from what administrative entity it is part of and from defining a city in whatever way. For instance Zwaag has "city rights" and nowadays it is not even a municipality. It however may be known as a "city" by having appropriate properties.
We should cut down on baggage if only to improve our "quality". Thanks, GerardM

Why have instance of item and instance of superclass of that item? If Glasgow is instance of : city of Scotland and City of Scotland is subclass of : city Then we should not have Glasgow instance of : city
This principle should cut down a lot of these extra 'instances '

A big city is what? A city with more than a given number of inhabitants? If so it is redundant because it can be inferred.
Criteria might be defined by local law and/or require some administrative act. That's how it works in Italy, for instance.
