This article talks about what makes a city to be a successful one,what conditions should be emphasize in every city in the world.
few interesting things in the article:

as far as the city more dense and big it's more efficient and successful,
the life of it's citizens are better and getting better and the city is more green than a village or a suburb.

In my opinion our love to highrise is supported by this article.

I also found this article yesterday and found it to be interesting and supportive of my ideas on urbanism. However, it would be helpful if they provided a site with specific stats—otherwise it's hard to tell where they get the information from and how they use it.

Could you please tell us what is your ideas on urbanism ?

In short, I believe that we should strive to have very dense cities with intelligent planning because this saves a lot of money on critical infrastructure, power consumption, services, etc. Especially communications and transportation becomes a whole lot cheaper.

so you think a computer algorythm can replace urban planners or predict a succeful city?

The new field that these new scientists are proposing is not meant to replace urban planners, but instead to assist them in making decisions. I think it can help a lot. A lot of what urban planners do is guesswork and a lot of it fails. A lot of stuff that today seems like obviously faulty city planning (in Tel Aviv: the Manshiya CBD, "New" CBS, etc.) seemed like a great idea when it was created. This new field of science might help avoid such problems, although it's still not a mature field so it's hard to say for sure.

Im skeptical - maybe in providing very general guidelines to what works, but theres so many variables and changing impact patterns in cities, that these models will be too rigid. They give a lot of weight to the size and density of cities as impacting most of the outcome, what about society, laws, weather, immigration, pollution?
