You're completely right. It does not work for urban areas. But I have a personal belief that the modern megacities are essentially pathological, just by virtue of being too dense. I believe that to improve the lives of the most people we need to, over time, depopulate cities a bit, and push more people out into essentially neo-villages, so that each populational unit is almost self sufficient with regards to food, medical services, education, and utilities. We'll always have cities, but I think that living in them will be considered a temporary inconvenience when compared to my utopian vision of small towns full of scholar-farmers.
