There are two possibilities here.

1) Something in your plugins folder is missing/faulty. To solve this remove everything you downloaded since you last got into your city without the problem and see if it works now. If not, that leads us on to 2...

or

2) Your city file has become corrupted. This is the bane of city-builders everywhere. It's unpredictable, devastating and impossible to fix. If you have been backing up your city then just reload the last back up, if not, then I'm afraid your city is gone for good.

Yeah, sorry to say, it's gone for good...

On the bright side, at least you'll know to back-up your cities from now on!  :P

It can have an another two causes:

1. Sometimes, the game just CTDs when you open the city. If you try it again, it will open. If not after three attempts, the file is corrupted.

2. Functional Landmarks Plug-in. Do you have installed the Functional Landmarks Plug-in from ST while you still have one or more Maxis Landmarks in your city. If so, the game CTDs after approximately 10 seconds. Remove the file, and the problem is solved.

I had both problems too, and I hope for you it's just one of these two.

Best,
Maarten

Also, a possibility could be that you have installed a new terrain mod, and don't have the correct dependencies for it, which will also crash your game once you load a city.
