I checked out templavoila and I'm considering to use it.
There is, however, another way which I was thinking about.


If I did a structure like this, with A (the list of cities)
separate.


A

      -> B
     /
root -> C
     \
      -> D


then B,C,D would inherit the city layout from root and A get its
own. I'm, however, unsure if such kind of layout is unwise to
choose, due to a "double root" approach which might cause problems
later on?

Is there are way in Typoscript to get the children of root in A
to generate a menue (actually a drop down) there? I guess it must
be easy, I just checked out the typo3 enterprise cms book menu section
but could not find something about that..

Maybe someone could give me a hint?

many thanks!
