See that great web site the Transport Tycoon Semi-FAQ:
How do I increase a city's population?

Here are some guidelines for making cities grow and increasing passengers:
  • In the temperate climate: Connect two cities with passenger and mail lines. This will spur their growth, and if efficient passenger transport is maintained, the cities will continue to grow for many years.
  • In the arctic climate: Towns above the snow line require food before they will grow at all. Once a steady stream of food is received, the town will start to slowly grow. You can accelerate the growth the providing passenger and mail lines to the town. Note that the town will stop growing if the food supply is cut. Towns below the snow line behave like temperate towns.
  • In the tropical climate: Towns in the desert require food and water in order to grow. Desert towns without water towers will not grow until one is built randomly or until you invest in one (expensive). Once a steady supply of water and food is maintained, the town will start to grow. It will grow faster if passengers are also transported. Towns not in the deserts grow quickly when you transport passengers and mail to/from them.
  • In the Toyland "climate": I'm not sure, but I think the "towns" will grow when you transport passengers between them.
As a last resort you can spur a town's growth by Funding New Buildings (see section above). Usually several new office buildings will be built. This does take some time, however, just like real bureaucracies. And like government programs, this one is expensive!
