After Jane Jakobs, a key difference between a city and a town is that cities manage to create new work. If I want to be a dog psychotherapist and there are people willing to buy my services I can start that career in a normal city. It seems to me that in your city you would only get a location for established economic activity.
I personally might not want to buy dog psychotherapist services but I want to go to Radical Honesty workshops.
In both cases money is a good proxy for deciding how much people value the service and thus whether or not whether a city should provide the space for it to happen.
