Historically?
Many advantages to cities.
Mutual defense? Availabity of goods and services you could not provide for yourself.
Religious center. Cultural center....
Because of information technology? SOME tasks can be done from nearly anywhere, and people are generally safer (1st world problem?) than at any time in history.....so less incentive to live in the crowd.
