The diplomacy summary that you get from clicking the scroll in the upper right will show you all the civs and city states at once, as well as what resources they have available, how much gold they have, and how much gold per turn they are making.

Basically, using this rule manually gives you a general idea of where to settle in proximity to other cities, but there is no interface built into the game that I am aware of to warn you of your city's proximity to different city's, other than having a settler at the spot you wish to settle. This information should be enough though for your purposes.
