    What about:

    Santiago de Chile (Chile)
    around 5.000.000 pop. - don't remember what height!

    Quito (Ecuador)
    3000 meters - over 1.000.000 pop.

    A man who has not been in Italy, is always conscious of an inferiority. -Samuel Johnson- (1709-84), English author
    I love the language, that soft bastard Latin,/Which melts like kisses from a female mouth,/And sounds as if it should be writ on satin/With syllables which breathe of the sweet South.-Lord Byron- (1788-1824), English poet.
    Lump the whole thing! Say that the Creator made Italy from designs by Michael Angelo! -Mark Twain- (1835-1910), U.S. author.

      However, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia is in a desert and there isn't a river for quite a long way. Riyadh population: 666,840.
      Riyadh is an interesting case:
      It is situated on a high plateau in the midst of Wadi Hanifah, Wadi Aysan, and Wadi al-Batha

      No doubt the location was chosen with this in mind. A wadi is the bed or valley of a stream in regions of southwestern Asia and northern Africa that is usually dry except during the rainy season and that often forms an oasis

      Birmingham is the seat of Jefferson county, a port of entry in the Mobile customs district, Mobile being a river port.

      Rivers are important for cities, even more so in real life than in Civ.

        ...but is not really a river. It is only a short loop of "canal", IIRC, built as a sewage outlet.

          Then why aren't there more rivers in civ? Even if they only represent large rivers, there should still be more.

          As for the Chicago River, it is a canal, but the Illinois/Des Planes river that it connects to is only about 15 miles west of the city. So, even before the canal was built, there was still a river for irrigation and trade. (There is also Lake Michigan for trading purposes.)

          By the way, Reno, Nevada has no river, IIRC. Neither does Carson City.
