'city' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'quiet centre amid iron production' is the wordplay.
'quiet centre' becomes 'p' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'amid' indicates putting letters inside.
'production' indicates an anagram.
'iron' is an anagram of 'rion'.
'p' inserted into 'rion' is 'RIPON'.

'with' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
