Non-Human cities.

Not in my current campaign...It happens to be predominantly human.

But in my last campaign I did. I had a dwarven citadel and a city populated only by gnomes and elves.

Both were around 50,000 in population. The dwarven citadel covered much smaller area, as it was an enclosed city, while the "fey" city was much more spread out, and was interspersed with forest glades.
 

The elven and dwarvish cities IMC are around 20-30k which isn't too much smaller than the human cities. There is one evil humanoid city which is up higher around 150,000 including human slaves, but the population varies as tribes come and go while raiding and warring with human countries.
 

the only "city" classified as such (30,000+pop) in my homebrew that is non human, is Crynaxia, elven lost city, sunken.
Aside from that the catacombs of dwarven enclaves and tribal miners is large but not centralised.
any further and you start travelling into deeper more strange areas, but most cities are human.

Orc City as well i guess, but thats tribes, priests, and such. They all congregate in the same area but theres no city government or other such items.
 

Well depends what you mean by City

As they are normally conceived only Humans have cities (although there are ruins of cities said to have been built by Serpent men and a legendary city built by Anansi the Spider)


Dwarfs have huge 'Mines' - huge complexes of vaulted caverns and twsting tunnels centered on a central Great Hall. They tend to be Large City to Metropolis sized with different clans occupying different sectors of the mine. On the surface dwarfs only have camps and villages

Gnolls are the nomadic 'people who dwell in round tents'. Once a year the Gnolls of the Sh'ra desert gather at Ashera 'the City of Tents' for 'the Hunt'. This is a time of trade and breeding culminating in the Hunt as Wilderbeast and other creatures make their annual crossing of the Kem river.

Gnomes have clan burrows (village sized), the Elfs of my world live on an 'Island of rafts' in the middle of the ocean, goblins live in other peoples cities and everything else tends to be small scale settlements.
