How will cities enchant you when height and density become ho hum?

Hey, folks:

One of these days it is going to happen. We're all going to wake up and find that every major and semi-major and want-to-be-major city on this planet will be densely packed and shot up to the stratestrophic heights on steroids.

What then? What happens when what Manhattan alone had globally is so well spread that it fails to stir our emotions?

WHAT WILL BE THE VISUAL DRAW, THE URBAN LANDSCAPE, THE THINGS THAT MAKE A CITY REALLY SPECIAL THAT WILL BY NECESSITY NOT BE ABLE TO RELY ON HEIGHT AND DENSITY TO GET US EXCITED?>
