Are there many large cites located near active volcanoes?

Not without a better definition of 'large city' or 'near'. Also, geologists don't have a fixed definition of 'active' for a volcano. There are many notable cites near active volcanoes, such as Naples (Italy) in the shadow of Vesuvius, but many more are to be found around the Pacific rim. The decade volcanoes have been picked out for special attention by scientists. In particular, Indonesia, the Phillipines and Central America have large populations near active volcanoes. According to a European space agency estimate, there are 500 million people living close to active volcanoes. Furthermore, a large enough volcanic eruption will effect a continent, or the whole world- for example, the Icelandic ash cloud (2010) large eruptions ( Mount Pinatubo, 1992) or a supervolcano.
