1Do you have any restrictions regarding custom size of these hexes, or anything else? Because one way would be to do a voronoi diagram - the opposite of Delauney triangulation on a set of points which wouldnt be so hard to generate. – U2ros Sep 05 '12 at 06:07

The MMQGIS plugin has a Create Grid Layer Tool. You can use that to create a vector grid layer and then intersect it with your city boundaries polygon.

What attributes does your city boundaries have btw? It would be great if you could upload the file so we can test the workflow on your file. What is it for btw? Just visualization? – R.K. Sep 05 '12 at 17:20
