It’s 1950s stuff and the basic premise is that an anti-gravity device allows large objects (in this case actual cities from Earth) to have space flight. I believe there are omnibus volumes of the main novels as well as being able to find them singly.

amazon.com

Cities in Flight was one of my favorites back in the day. Still have the books but I haven’t read them in perhaps 50 years. Might be time to dig them out. I remember especially the depression-era Okie metaphor, with the cities as migrants traveling around the universe “looking for work.”
