How about str_replace()?

Send city with 

$cityurl = str_replace(' ', '_',$cityurl);//replace spaces with "_"

And the link is 

http://www.teste.com/?city=$cityurl //url is like http://www.teste.com/?city=São_Paulo

Receive city with 

$city = str_replace('_', ' ',$_GET['city']);//replace "_" with spaces

Probably best to use the urlencode() function in PHP before you pass the data over $_GET. Then on the receiving end, use urldecode().
