That's strange, actually your city should be saved right before taking the screenshot and therefore should be saved :roll:

I remember playing Simcity Deluxe (on Android not simcity 4...) and they have a autosave feature

it looks like its every 5 mins (i think) and the game autosaves by itself

The problem with autosave during the game is that it needs some time depending on your device and city. If your city is big it can take up a whole minute. We don't want to interrupt the game with such a saving screen. Saving on the fly while player is playing is difficult due to possible changes to the city while saving. To solve this we would have to copy the whole city in memory, which will lead to a memory problem on some devices.

@Matison
Can you check whether you might restore your city from .backup or .store-files? They are just city files with an alternative file type ending. Just rename it and you should be able to see them in the city list.
