I'm too tired for thinky thoughts but the book actually does say that Nine is actually heavily urbanized because so much of the district is devoted to the actual refining of grain into other things, not the growing of it, so yeah, exactly.
I grew up near an ethanol plant, so my headcanon for Nine is that the cities always smell like toast. ^^
