Well, most people will want out of the city as fast as they can. That's where disease is going to be first. Also, they're natural targets for military operations.
Farmland makes nice, open killing zones. Having fields around your canton gives you the ability to reach out and smite when the enemy must expose themselves to close. They can't mortar you if they want your supplies.
Given that the average person moves at 4km/h, it's not really valid to have people in cities without a way of making outside the city
less hospitable.
