Pass over good points in industrial city (7)

I believe the answer is:

cologne

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'industrial city' is the definition.
'cologne' can be an answer for 'city' (Cologne is an example). I am not sure about the 'industrial' bit.

'pass over good points' is the wordplay.
'pass' becomes 'col' (col is a kind of pass).
'over good' becomes 'og' (this might be a standard abbreviation of which I'm unaware).
'points' becomes 'ne'.
'col'+'og'+'ne'='COLOGNE'

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cologne that I've seen before include "European city" , "Eau de _____" , "Town" , "smells nice" , "Foreign city" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
