It's much more efficient to deliver anything, products or services, to densely populated areas: efficiencies will improve the economics of doing business in urban environments.The Huffington Post, June 21, 2011

The world is becoming more urban as more and more people are living in cities. In fact, the population of New York City -- 8.4 million -- is roughly the same number of Chinese who move each year from the countryside to a city. Researchers identified May 23, 2007, as thefirst time in history that city dwellers outnumbered the world's rural population. Because cities are growing, companies locate in urban areas as an efficient way to reach talent and customers. Jobs and opportunities will increase faster in urban areas as cities propel innovation and subsequently, growth. Cities provide an increased ability for networking, solving diverse customer needs through innovation, and streamlining distribution.
Social Networking
The Lovin' Spoonful song released in 1966, called Summer in the City, indicates the phenomena of social networking is not a new attribute of urban dwellers. The song's lyrics suggest why people migrate to a city: the hassles are greatly offset by the people you meet, the culture, the connectedness with like-minded men and women (and "babes").
Music captures the zeitgeist of the city dweller. Whether working in the city or traveling out of town, the city dweller is more likely to have a global network. For instance, an international conductor or musician would prefer to perform in large venues and will go to where the people and money are. Given time constraints, most people would prefer to connect across the globe through technology or through travel to be exposed to new ideas. This leads to business opportunities.
