Its an urban planning and transport issue essentially. Medium density housing (think 4-6 story blocks) allows enough people to live in an area that it becomes feasible to have trams/light rail serving that area.

Good to know, I'll go ask one if the profs in our school of built environment for more info. See if they can offer more insight there.

If you're interested in this topic, I simply must plug the Adam Something YT channel :) He makes funny but also serious videos about urban and transport planning, and whatever new "trains but worse" transport idea techbros came up with this month.
