Yes make it a Port2. Give it a good reason for being the worlds biggest (Trade makes since)3. Give it a good reason for multiple races/ethnicities/adventures to be present (again trade makes since)Also using the Quarters (Districts) approach as mentioned by Steel Wind is the way to go especially if they are modular and in fact can be moved around jigsaw like - that way no two cities need ever be the same and bits could be melded together to make new cities!The book should have a section on City Life - what NPCs do in the city when adventures aren't happening - and a Section of Urban Adventure Plothooks (like the Warring Theives Guilds, or the Murders in High Street, or the of the Royal Yatch into Port, or the Strange Happenings down Fishergate Lane etc)Treat it like a dungeon Corridors = Link Roads/Gates "The road leading to the Judges Quarter is cobbled and well kept ..."Room = Districts "Entering the Judges Gate you see that the buildings are of fine quality with low white-stone walls enclosing the gardens and houses... "Treasure = Place of Interest/Plothook "Moving past the first few houses it is not long before you spot the Judges Hall to the east....."Monster = NPC "Judge Malik Aknar ibn Doud is a tall thin man of Half-elf extraction..."</blockquote>
