I have no idea if Tolkein loved or hated industry, but simply living in a city doesn't suddenly make you an industrialist as much as living in a village doesn't make you a farmer. If anything, living in the city gives you an excellent perspective on the effects of industrialization, form ones own opinions from there.

Also, there were cities before industrialization. Can’t remember the names of any right now… but I pretty sure there were a few.

  Pretty sure that's most capital cities in europe. E.g. London, Rome
