That's a fair point, walkable city definitely have to reach a certain density/population to be succesful.
However, I would argue that the number is not necessarily very high : for example Niort (110k inhabitants) is also pushing pretty heavily to get rid of cars in the city center [1], making tranports free [2], and having experiments to push people to get rid of their cars [3]. All those have a pretty positive feedback from the local population
Albi might be to small for it, but not necessarily by much, and I think it is also important to have support from the municipality
Sorry about the links in French, but it's pretty hard to find infos on Niort in English :)
