Exegesis
The verse begins with the coordinate kai {καί | kaí} “and” introducing the fronted subject hē polis {ἡ πόλις | hē pó-lis} “the city,” followed by the negated noun chreian {χρείαν | chreí-an} “need” and the verb echei {ἔχει | é-khei} “has,” yielding “the city has no need.”
In context — Revelation 21:23
And the city has no need of the sun or the moon to shine upon it, because the glory of God has bestowed its light upon it, and the Lamb is its lamp.
