It is true that the center of a feudal territory was usually a city.
No, the center of feudal territory was usually a lord's manor or castle, not a city. Cities tended to develop around these manors or castles and were often important economic and political centers, but they were not necessarily at the center of feudal territory.
barons
A lord's territory is called a "manor." In the feudal system, a manor typically included the lord's residence, agricultural land, and various associated buildings and settlements. The manor was the basic unit of feudal landholding, where the lord exercised control and provided protection to the peasants or serfs who worked the land.
The "feudal system" (or what we call the feudal system), was based on a system of lords and vassals. I lord gave out a fief, a income producing territory (sometimes a land to grow crops on, sometimes a road with permission to tax it), and that created loyalty to the lord in return for protection. The agricultural revolution led to a boom in population and because of that, these rural estates ran by lords could no longer support every child being born, so there was an urbanization that took place during this time. As a result, towns could produce goods outside of the essentials for survival and they became the center of economy. The majority of the population remained farmers, but the center of an area shifted from the rural estate to that of the city. As a result, lords lost a lot of the power they had had under the "feudal system" and the royalty began to regain a lot of the control they had lost during the rural based system some still call the "feudal system

Feudal barons only exist in Scotland in the UK and retain a dignity preserved by the Abolition of Feudal Tenure, etc (Scotland) Act 2000. A feudal barony is the only title of nobility legally assignable and able to be legally alienated from the bloodline of its previous possessor. Historically, feudal barons were the first nobles, the King's men, who held land directly from the Crown and were granted a legal jurisdiction over their territory, the barony. Now, the dignity of a feudal baron is a personal title and carries with it no special powers beyond the title of 'baron', certain qualities and precedence, and a few heraldic privileges.
