I'm not sure about the height, but a 105 mile long city pretty much enforces public transit. If you think about it, how many small towns are there that only exist on small state route highways? Of course the residential areas may sprawl a few blocks away, but if you combine these towns, you get one long straight city. I suppose building up alleviates a lot of the solar gain, and the gives you a weather protected courtyard between the structures, and also lets you manage water much easier.
