I thought the same as well but after some more thought and research I've concluded that cities are inherently doomed. Building cities is hard and the larger the harder. Planning is crucial but risky. Suburbs, by contrast, are cheap and simple. We should instead keep planting new urban areas near existing ones, which are easier to grow. Works well in China but politically unfeasible in America (and perhaps even "un-American").
