City provides stylish area with work (7)
I believe the answer is:
chicago
'city' is the definition.
(Chicago is an example)
'stylish area with work' is the wordplay.
'stylish' becomes 'chic' (similar in meaning).
'area' becomes 'a' (maths abbreviation).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'work' becomes 'go' (synonyms).
'chic'+'a'+'go'='CHICAGO'
'provides' is the link.
(Other definitions for chicago that I've seen before include "Al Capone's city" , "Port on Lake Michigan" , "America's Windy City" , "US city, original home of the skyscraper" , "3 city in the US" .)
