If you have not made a decision yet, let me explain somethings that might be helpful

Joomla:
+ More Powerful
+ More Flexible
- Less easy to use

Wordpress:
+ Easy to use
- Less Flexibility

If you are a developer or even good in computer coding stuff like that, I would recommend Joomla otherwise go for Wordpress Buddy Press

Before you make a website you need a business model.

Nearly every city already has sites about that city. Usually done by businesses. Can you beat them?

Why would anyone use your site for Social Networking when they can just use FACEBOOK?

Do you have a marketing plan, a social media strategy, a profit model?

I use both Joomla and WordPress. I wouldn't attempt to use WordPress because it's not really designed as a CMS to manage large blocks of data. At the same time I'm not sure Joomla is the best choice either. There are a lot of CMS platforms to consider. But if you don't have a plan it won't matter.

The website is one of the last things you do. Build it first doesn't work.
