Short Explanation
Lots of cities, same Microsoft-hosted apps over the internet—that is public cloud SaaS. You are not ordering a private Word mainframe per city hall.
Full Explanation
Microsoft 365 Apps for Enterprise delivered as cloud productivity to many organizations is framed as public cloud software as a service: Microsoft hosts multi-tenant application services consumed over the internet. That is distinct from private dedicated IaaS Word servers, on-premises-only perpetual framing, or defining the apps as Azure Virtual Desktop host-pool administration.
