I believe the answer is:

newsroom

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

'source of information' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'recalled uplands and city' is the wordplay.
'recalled' shows that the letters should be reversed in order (to recall can mean to bring something back).
'uplands' becomes 'moors' (a moor is an upland or heath).
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'city' becomes 'wen' (historical term for a large city).
'moors'+'wen'='moorswen'
'moorswen' written backwards gives 'NEWSROOM'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for newsroom that I've seen before include "press centre" , "where headlines are made" , "Where reporters work" , "Own Morse (anag)" .)
