That’s way too generalized of a statement, even though I get what you mean. Things like infrastructure and mobility for example play a major part in how a city feels and develops. Tokyo, Amsterdam and Detroit are all cities but couldn’t be more different in nature, which in turn also shapes society and economy.
To think cities cause humans to just be themselves is as foolish as the foolishness your post was an answer to.

That’s not what I said. I said they bring out human nature. Which is a reaction to this idea that people in cities have bad manners or are somehow worse people. All my rural friends and family who didn’t leave think cities are horrible and likely think like the person I responded to.
And yes cities are not all the same but my point is that they exist because there are enough people to have an actual economy. Walk down main street and any small town America and you’ll see the stark difference I’m trying to point out. No money in those places at all. Extreme poverty running rampant. Half of businesses shuttered.
In cities, economies actually exist. In cities, society is just a reflection of human nature and has fuck-all to do with government.
