Fortifications and trenches are reflected in the same number in the lower right corner of the unit. Trenches can be built in cities. There is a caveat in that some cities start with existing prewar fortications. From what I have seen, if the city has prewar fortifications at level 3, you will not be able to build level 1, 2 or 3 trenches in it. I believe this is because fortifications and trenches serve the same function in reducing the effect of hostile artillery and ground attacks. I suspect you will be able to build level 4 entrenchments when you reach that level (I am not sure as I don't believe I have ever had level 4 entrenchments in my games). If the city has no fortifications, you can build entrenchments in it as soon as you have the appropriate entrenching technology level. Trenches and fortifications are effective in cities. Other related information. Siege guns work well for destroying city fortifications. Assault troops and tanks work well for attacking entrenchments. Edit - found the most recent manual and updated my response based on it.
