A city trick (5)

I believe the answer is:

dodge

This clue is a double definition.

'a city' is the first definition.
(I have seen 'Western city' mean 'dodge' so perhaps 'city' could also mean 'dodge')

'trick' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for dodge that I've seen before include "Cunning move" , "Elude, sidestep" , "Evade by moving out of the way" , "Move quickly to avoid" , "Evade - trick" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
