The total area of the city can be calculated by adding up the areas of each individual section.

Section 1: 4 mi x 2 mi = 8 sq mi
Section 2: 2 mi x 2 mi = 4 sq mi
Section 3: 2 mi x 2 mi = 4 sq mi
Section 4: 2 mi x 2 mi = 4 sq mi
Section 5: 2 mi x 2 mi = 4 sq mi

Adding up all the areas:
8 sq mi + 4 sq mi + 4 sq mi + 4 sq mi + 4 sq mi = 24 sq mi
