There are some very big, important cities in the world that are situated on some flat, featureless plain without even a river running through their core.
*Regina would be the biggest one that comes to mind. Or maybe London, ON.

Regina has Wascana Creek that runs through the city and a large lake that is one of the main features of Wascana Park.
Albert Memorial Bridge
Linking the north and south shores of the lake is the Albert Memorial Bridge. Said to be the longest bridge over the shortest span of water, the bridge decorated in terracotta balusters and buffalo heads is a memorial to soldiers of the First World War.
