Use map. Tutorial here.

For example:

class City {
  const City(this.id, this.name);

  final int id;
  final String name;
}

List<City> cities = [
  City(0, 'A'),
  City(1, 'B'),
  City(2, 'C'),
];

final List<String> cityNames = cities.map((city) => city.name).toList();

void main() {
  print(cityNames);
}

It's simple and cumbersome though,

var cityNames = cities.map((c) => c.name).toList().join(',');

List<String> names=[];

for (City city in cities){
names.add(city.name);
 }
