I am a beginner at making big cities but here are my thoughts.

The city ground textures repeat every 1600m or 3200m so you can make a standard city model to fit this repeating pattern and then copy it around your map. You then have to delete some bits to fit your city shape.

To start off use a temporary map.
Online9 is a good one to use.

Apply city tile textures over a large area until you are able to see the repeating pattern.
Then add your buildings.

Now you can use this map to copy and paste into your working map.
