I am an artful duck,
food off the ground I pluck,

this city's air does suck.
Where do I live?

Do you live in
Beijing?
I am an artful duck
Peking duck, originally from Beijing
Food off the ground I pluck,
Ducks peck food off the ground
In order I am stuck,
Pecking order
This city's air does suck.
Beijing is known for poor air quality

Do you live in
New York City?
I am an artful duck,
A pigeon (they prefer rock dove).
food off the ground I pluck,
And there's a lot on the ground in NYC and pigeons everywhere.
in order I am stuck,
Stuck in traffic, stuck in the concrete jungle...?

Although not as bad as some places, NYC doesn't have the best air quality.

Credits to Casey's answer and the comments that followed. I just integrated the answer. So tell me if I shouldn't do this :)
The answer is
Peking
I am an artful duck,
Yes Peking duck is a dish from Peking ( Now known as Beijing)
food off the ground I pluck,
Ducks do feed off the ground "Plucking" food off it.
in order I am stuck,
Credit to prog_sahil and casey again. This refers to the traffic jams in beijing which are well known.
this city's air does suck.
Air pollution, lots of smog and so on.
And finally the hint
Peking was formally romanized as Peking. The hint does say that it does not use the most up-to date spelling. The old Kanji read Peking and the new kanji reads beijing so technically it's an old spelling of the same name
