Does one shorten the prayer if he travels within his own city?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : If a person is in a town, but the town is large in extent—meaning this town might be sixty kilometers across—and he goes from its east to its west, a distance of about sixty, eighty, or one hundred kilometers, is he permitted to shorten his prayer in this situation in the direction of his travel?

Answer : No, he is not permitted to do so, because he is not a traveler; he is currently in his own town.
