Conditions for a city on a mountain

Cities usually emerge at places where transportation is easy (on a plain, near a sea or a river, etc.) so that people can come and go (facilitating trade) and water and food can be brought to the city.

Under what conditions can a big city emerge on a mountain (for example in a valley)? How large can it become in the middle ages? What about the colonial or the industrial era?
