Things that we know about Imperial City:
AccessImperial Sewers
- Requires owning all six home keeps in Cyrodiil
Imperial Districts
- Each alliance has their own entrance to the Sewers in Cyrodiil (the DC one is in Weye, the AD one is by the bridge NE of Alessia, the EP one is north of Lake Mist Ruins)
- Each alliance has a two-section "home sewer" which leads to a central "hub" area
- Each alliance has a safe zone inside the sewers
- What is not known is how much of an alliance's "home sewer" is also their "safe zone"
- The sewers will contain PvE quests and PvE bosses
- A large central section of the sewers will be a PvP area
Imperial Prison
- The Imperial City has 6 districts, all of which are PvP areas
- Three of the districts (Arboretum, Market, and Nobles) can be captured for your alliance
- This will most likely have an associated quest which rewards AP
- This seems to involve going into Coldharbour
- With no defence, these districts will eventually revert to NPC enemy control
- Owning a district provides a passive bonus (probably AP and XP) and the ability to respawn there
- Each district has a series of (probably repeatable) PvE quests
- Each district contains a shrine to a Divine which provides some sort of buff
Other Stuff
- A Group Dungeon, unknown whether it will be PvE only
- Skyshards (probably 9)
- An Imperial City main quest
- Crafting sites with new set bonuses
- Caches of Imperial and Daedric goods
- White-Gold Tower dungeon, but possibly not when IC is released
So specifically for PvP, you have the open sewers section and the districts for skirmishes, and larger battles for district control. Admittedly the list seems to have a lot more PvE elements, but equally, PvE must be provided for, while PvP is largely player-driven, and listing the stuff you can do in the rest of Cyrodiil would also have a numerically longer PvE list.

I also understood that it would be largely pve inside. That can't be right. it would be a waste of content. PVEers couldn't reach it and pvpers will be ganking the pveers at the sewers.
edit, based on past events, this is entirely possible
