Step 0:
Do not build a town unless you realy need too. A few big towns are better then the same population split over a lot of small ones.
Generally Admin Strain is the only rason you should even consider it. You can manage it by building and upgrading more stuff within 6 tiles of the city a lot of the times. And anything less then 10% you can ignore. You need a few large assets realy far to get it high.
Asuming you still need one, this is what to do:
Step 1:
Recruit some colonists. You need at least 100.
After you have the initial settlement, you can also settle recruits but only as civilians. But with Colonsits you can directly send them into the workforce
Step 2:
Find a good spot.
Reportedly if you found a city on a existing Free Folk Town, you will automatically get the entire towns population as city population.
Beyond that, pick a spot that will prevent a lot of current and future Admin Strain.
Step 3:
Enable Emergency food and inject a lot of cash into the Private Economy (both directly and via worker pay), focus all future immigraiton on getting enough for a Private Farm T1. It needs quite some time, about 1000 Private Credits and free non-worker population to build one. And without the Farm or E-Food, the Private Citizens have nothing to eat.
Step 4:
High Happiness and Private Worker Pay should draw in more Immigration from other cities and free towns.
But keep settling unused Recruits or Colonsits too.
Step 5:
All my cities have at least a T1 Truck stop in the City hex. Just to run local Assets. More if they need it. Particular far ones might have a Rail Station or at least Head as well, to get supplies to the city. Existing ones are a good place to found the city.
Ocassionally I build a low tier farm - unlike food, water travels for free. So it can be cheaper to produce locally, then to ship stuff in.
With building be realy carefull not to overload logistics. Food can be a large consumer. When Building, Metals usually are a huge one. And if you got soldiers around, they will need a lot of food, ammo and fuel too.
