Ouagadougou, the capital of Burkina Faso, contains 11 letters, only one of which (D) is not repeated within the word. Can you reconstruct the following list of world cities from which duplicate letters have been removed? The number in parentheses indicates how many different letters have been removed. For example, S A _ _ _ R_ (2) = SAPPORO (Japan).
1. _ _ L _ U _ _ _ (3)*
2. O _ _ _ W _ (2)
3. _ _ A N K _ U _ T (2)
4. _ _ _ I S T _ _ U _ _ _ (3)
5. _ I _ _ _ H A _ _ _ R (3)
6. _ _ R _ _ _ S (2)
7. _ _ _ IS _ _ _ _ _ (3)
8. _ _ _ O M _ E _ _ (3)
9. _ _ R S _ _ (2)
10. C _ N B E _ _ _ (2)
11. L _ _ D _ _ (2)
12. D _ M _ _ C U _ (2)
13. B R _ _ _ _ V I _ _ E (3)
14. _ _ U B _ _ _ N _ (3)
15. V _ _ _ T _ A _ _ (3)
16. _ _ R _ N _ _ (2)
17. _ _ _ L _ I _ _ (3)
18. _ R I _ S _ _ (2)
19. _ _ _ K _ T _ _ N (3)
20. S _ _ P _ _ L _ (2)
* former name
(The spacing doesn't always work very well on this blog so I will simply tell you that 7 and 8 are two words.)

Well, in answer to your original question... No, I cannot. I just don't know enough cities to participate in this one. Sorry!
