What makes a city successful to you?

Is it convenience (opportunities/ experiences)?
convenience in how we…
move (types of transportation);
work (types of jobs);
live (types o dwellings);
socialize (types of interactions);
consume (types of shops/ resources);
entertain (types of recreation/ leisure);
inhabit (types of spaces)?

Does success lie in…
spatial organization? character/ people? infrastructure/ amenities?

any thoughts are greatly appreciated!!!

I agree that people make a city special. This leads to culture --- and architecture is a part of that.

Its a combination of all, inhabitants of a city are the main factor.
i think u meant how an architectural urban fabric (of a city) is influenced by those factors,
do u mean that?
