The City and the City is about a pair of amazingly constructed cities. While they are two separate cities, both of them occupy some of the same physical space. In some places, there are parts of one city totally existing in the other. The citizens of the two cities must "unsee" the other city. This separation is kept in place by Breach, an organization which makes sure the two cities are kept mentally separate by their citizens. In addition, there are strict rules about crossing the borders of the two cities, even though separation is not purely physical.
