Here's a generic element I use for pagination:

Perhaps you can modify that to your own needs. With Cake 2.x I've had
to make some changes to what I had been using. I suppose that I must
be doing something wrong that it requires the AppController snippet.
I think your route could be improved a bit:
Router::connect(
'/:state/:city/:page/:slug',
array(
'controller' => 'pages',
'action' => 'display',
'level' => 'town'
),
array(
'state' => '[a-z]{2}',
'city' => '[-a-z]+',
'page' => '[0-9]+',
'slug' => '[-a-z]+',
'pass' => array('page', 'slug')
)
);
I've added the slug to the URL, which allows you to pass it as an
action param. Otherwise, I'm not sure what good it would do you.
I've also made a better regex for state, and "sluggified" city -- a
name with a space or apostrophe would not match your regex. Because
you want the city name to appear in URLs, you'll need to store both
the display text and slug for each city.
As for what's being passing as params, personally, I would pass state,
city, and slug. I also think it's a bit odd that this is pointing to
PagesController. But then, I don't know the details so ...
