But what about the people?

Just putting up walls and a garrison doesn't make a city. You should
also have to have hundreds (if not thousands) of peasants. Otherwise
10 turns worth of quarrying will make a city, and there will be
cities popping up in every province. It should take at *least* a
thousand stone, and at least a few thousand inhabitants. Even then,
it's probably way too easy.
