You have this in footer.php:
<div class="location">
<?php $regions = RegionStats::newInstance()->listRegions('%%%%', '>', 'i_num_items DESC'); ?>
<?php $i = 1; ?>
<?php foreach($regions as $r) { ?>
<?php if($i <= 12) { ?>
<span class="region-span"><a href="<?php echo osc_search_url(array('page' => 'search', 'sRegion' => $r['pk_i_id']));?>"><?php echo $r['s_name']; ?></a></span>
<?php $i++; ?>
<?php } ?>
<?php } ?>
</div>
You may try to change it into:
<div class="location">
<?php $regions = CityStats::newInstance()->listCities('%%%%', '>', 'i_num_items DESC'); ?>
<?php $i = 1; ?>
<?php foreach($regions as $r) { ?>
<?php if($i <= 12) { ?>
<span class="region-span"><a href="<?php echo osc_search_url(array('page' => 'search', 'sCity' => $r['pk_i_id']));?>"><?php echo $r['s_name']; ?></a></span>
<?php $i++; ?>
<?php } ?>
<?php } ?>
</div>
But I would say some adjustments may be required
