Yes and no. :-) I lived in such a city until January, in a dense medium-rise apartment block, with 3 forms of public transport available to me within walking distance. It had no heating system of any form, heated by hot water from the mains supply, provided by waste heat from a power station 40km away. I worked from home from it from early 2020 for 3 years. I'd prefer, for that purpose, that it were considerably larger and had a dedicated office space, or even a co-working space in every building or something like that. I have never, even driven a car to work routinely in my life. I got my driver's licence at 37 and have not owned a car as a licence holder. But TBH I personally did prefer going into an office. Almost everyone I know prefers not to, though. So, you're right, but the two designs are not mutually exclusive, which you seem to be implying.
