I couldn't find list of cities. Basically, The tundra is the coldest and the driest of all the biomes on Earth. This biome lies above the Arctic Ocean in the world's highest northern latitudes. The tundra covers about one fifth of the land surface found on Earth. These low swampy plains are found in Northern Europe, Siberia, Northern most part of North America, and a few places in the southern hemisphere.

Please see attached map for more details.

What about some cities in Iceland, Greenland, Canada or Russia? Like Reykjavik in Iceland? (although I'm not sure if it fits your definite of a large city).
