More people per square foot makes the real estate more valuable. It also seems to appeal to "efficiency" but outside of people commuting a long time by private car, I'd be hard pressed to buy into that.
At its core, the idea is that human muscle power is somehow more efficient than machines, something I'm pretty categorically set against. :)

Transporting something a short distance is more efficient than transporting something a long distance. Both of these factors work in favor of densely packed cities being more efficient.
