    Make the year the x axis and the city the legend.

     

    Note: since year is temporal you could now even reconsider using a line chart, a stacked line chart, or a ribbon chart.

    Which one is column? Or are you referring to power bi types?

        The bar for City 3 still stacks them altogether. Can you suggest how to solve it with a mark of type bar?
