    Haarlem is not a suburb but it’s own city, it is actually the capital of the North-Holland province.

      Sorry, I think it might have been something lost in translation, I was trying to say “settlement located close by and heavily influenced by another much bigger settlement”. I don’t know a better word for it.

        “Satellite city” might do the trick.

      I think suburb in English can mean nearby cities, too. For example, Alexandria, Virginia is a suburb of Washington, DC.
