You serious lad??
Ability to walk to pubs, restos, museums, libraries, Universities, schools, friends' houses and so on.
And before anyone tries to say that's bullshit, I used to walk to all of those in my Cork days. Cork being a fine small city like.

Not to mention a concentration of industry and commerce, which leads to invention and innovation, allowing most people today to live a better quality of life than a king or queen 100 years ago.
Let's all go back to thatch cottages though.
The concentration of people in industry derived from the Mills in England. Mill owners wanted a lot of labour working long hours for pittance - including child labour working 12 hour days/ 6 days a week.
