Stats aren't as important as knowing their personalities when they interact with PCs and knowing their relations to the other NPCs. Perhaps even write up some generic NPCs because at some time a PC is goign to ask you about somebody that you haven't thought about such as "who is the most powerful merchant in the north side of town?" or "I need a street urchin to send on a task". The city is full of a million stories and you can't detail them all, but should make it seem to the PCs that you have.Keep good notes on who talks to who and where they are and when. If you care about such things, eventually somebody is going to get into trouble and where everybody else is at that moment will matter. Intelligence also can be an issue and who tells who (and who they tell) can make all the difference in the world if the PCs plans end up beign heard by an ememy because they trusted soembody they shouldn't have or had loose lips. Figure out movement through town ahead of time and know how fast they move when not in combat.</blockquote>
