It would be less confusing if you made up you're mind whether you're
talking about cities or city upgrades.

What City upgrades? I'm only talking about the basic game not Cities
and Knights.

The upgrade from a settlement to a city.

To build a brand new city, which increases your current production by
2 and your current score by 2, you must spend (at least) 1 brick, 1
wood, 1 sheep, 3 wheat, and 3 ore.

To upgrade a settlement to a city, which increases your current
production by 1 and your current score by 1, you must spend 2 wheat
and 3 ore.

As far as I can tell, you have been mixing these two up, citing the
benefits of building a brand new city (+2 production, +2 VP), but only
assigning it a cost equal to the settlement-city upgrade.
