xtabs does this automatically if your cross classifying variables are
factors with levels all the cities (sorted, if you like):
> x <- sample(letters[1:5],8, rep=TRUE)
> y <- sample(letters[1:5],8,rep=TRUE)
> xtabs(~ x + y)
y
x c d e
a 1 0 0
b 0 0 1
c 1 0 0
d 1 1 1
e 1 1 0
> lvls <- sort(union(x,y))
> x <- factor(x, levels = lvls)
> y <- factor(y, levels = lvls)
> xtabs( ~ x + y)
y
x a b c d e
a 0 0 1 0 0
b 0 0 0 0 1
c 0 0 1 0 0
d 0 0 1 1 1
e 0 0 1 1 0
