for games of 1000pts or less, a 4'x4' surface is sufficiant and will allow for decent tactical play... you should be able to fit between 4-6 roughly equal sized terrain pieces on it, depending on just how cluttered you like your battle field! (say perhaps; 2 large'ish buildings, 2 craters/ruins & 2 sets of barricades...)
for 1500-2000pts games you'll definately want an 8'x4' gaming area - easily achived by getting a pair of 4'x4' boards! 6'x4' is doable, but i've found that it's a wee bit harsh on hoard armies like guard and orks who will be forced to clump up quite a bit just to fit onto the table! (especially during deployment!)
even for an 8'x4' gaming table, you'll only need 1 imperial city box set... you get 12-14 buildings worth of sprues, plus some extra bitz left over for making rubble piles and such. more than enough terrain to easily create choke points and cut down most lines of sight.
cheers!
