I like the idea, but I certainly hope it would be nothing like a real city which corresponds more closely to the worst kind of spaghetti code out there, with tight dependencies between otherwise unrelated communities, too many ways to achieve the same task to list, and so on.
Cities work because they're organic and adaptable. You couldn't plan a city, much less understand all of it.

The charm of a city however, certainly comes from the organic and adaptations its inhabitants make over time. I'm optimistic that a program's city metaphor has the potential to be just as charming, instead of turning into spaghetti.
