If your variable that you want to split on is "city" and you want
separate output sections containing all the procedures you call for each
city, something like this untested syntax should work.
sort cases by city
split file separate by city.
frequencies . . .
crosstabs . . .
descriptives . . .
split file off.

If you want you want city as the outermost layer in output tables, use
the layered specification rather than separate.
split file layered by city.
