Your configuration looks syntactically correct. But due to the
implementation of delay_access it is however not reliable on acls
requiring an external lookup of any kind (DNS, helper, ident lookups etc).

What you can do to limit the effect of the above is to cause http_access
to evaluate the information needed

http_access deny city_nets !all

just before where you allow the requests.

but even without this Squid should learn and the next request(s) to the
same destination should be processed properly.

Squid needs to do a DNS lookup to get the destination IP address from the
host name in the request.
