The twinkling effect seen with lights are usually due to atmospheric disturbances, which creates temporary pockets of air that can diffract the light. But if some cities have low atmospheric disturbances, usually pollution or moisture, the light is less diffracted, thus does not twinkle.

Do you write city's lights or city lights?

Both are commonly used. However, if you want to emphasize the ownership of the lights, use " city's ". Use city lights. The cases where "city's lights" might be better are very specific, dealing with comparison to another place's lights.
