My pleasure.
Your thinking is right,,, you've got to remember, however, that GREAT ideas come to many,,, (bad ones, you get exclusively).
1. The idea of cities having evolved around social and industrial needs is evident.
2. Communications (particularly telepresence/Internet) would seem to make it possible for people to ditch the grimy dirty city...
However --- before we all move to the woods, consider that, as our bandwidth increases, the depth of our communications seems to decrease.
* People used to visit.
* Then, they'd phone.
* Lately an e-mail has replaced the voice.
T. S. Eliot:
"First there was wisdom. Then came knowledge.
Now we have information."
(Actually, some days I owe up to being a fan of the Unibomber,,, of his message, not his means of delivering it :))
You may find this essay in today's New York Times ironic :))
