It's place=city, or place=whatever - you should find Paris tagged as
place=city, name=Paris, with the is_in tag to be sure which for towns
with commoner names.

There isn't yet a relation as you describe, though a simple enough
distance-from-target calculation should do the job? It is something
planned for the future.
