Well Developed City?

[Nikosandros]

Streets of Silver. This is a really good, very comprehensive city book done under 3e. The city, Parma, is modeled after Renaissance Venice, so it definitely has the river features you're looking for, but may require some cultural amending to fit into a more traditional campaign feel. It was part of a d20 campaign setting called Twin Crowns that was designed to have more of a 16th century "Age of Exploration" feel to it.

I don't know anything about the product in question, but are you sure that the city is based on real-world Venice? I'm asking because Parma is the name of an actual Italian city.

Hi,

I would go with Ptolus - excellent city setting, and much more detailed than anything else out there.

Cheers

I don't know Italy very well, but it certainly looks a lot like Venice. I suspect they just borrowed liberally from anything that gave them the feel they were looking for.

I would cast a vote for Sharn:City of Towers. Its right next to the dagger river and chock full of adventure. Some towers stretch almost a mile high, and is home to over 2 million people.

While the city maps of the book aren't all that detailed, there are plenty of plothooks, organizations of all stripes, and loads of adventure. Might be right up your alley. Just don't go down it alone. Your like to get mugged.
