It is not RAISE the city; it is RAZE the city.

Raising a city to the ground is an oxymoron.

RAZE also spelled RASE:

tr.v., razed also rased, raz·ing ras·ing, raz·es ras·es.

1. To level to the ground; demolish.

2. To scrape or shave off.

3. Archaic. To erase. Comment from NastyJester: An underground city could be raised to the ground. Sorry, just being pedantic.
