The word(s) "towns" appears 31 time(s) in 29 verse(s) in Quran in Mohsin Khan translation.

(11) And your Lord would never destroy the towns wrongfully, while their people were right-doers.

(12) And We sent not before you (as Messengers) any but men unto whom We revealed, from among the people of the townships. Have they not travelled in the land and seen what was the end of those who were before them? And verily, the home of the Hereafter is the best for those who fear Allah and obey Him (by abstaining from sins and evil deeds, and by performing righteous good deeds). Do you not then understand?

(13) And never did We destroy a township but there was a known decree for it.

(14) And We turned (the towns of Sodom in Palestine) upside down and rained down on them stones of baked clay.

(16) And these towns (population, - 'Ad, Thamud) We destroyed them when they did wrong. And We appointed a fixed time for their destruction.

(18) And many a township did We destroy while it was given to wrong-doing, so that it lies in ruins (up to this day), and (many) a deserted well and lofty castle!

(19) And many a township did I give respite while it was given to wrong-doing. Then (in the end) I seized it (with punishment). And to Me is the (final) return (of all).

(20) And never did We destroy a township but it had its warners
