First of all, we don't know the relative scale INSIDE of Whiterun. God knows a lot of Oblivion cities on the outside looked smaller than they appeared until you got into them.
Still, most cities in Oblivion were absolutely stale. Very little to do within them.
Being able to work, live a solitary life, drink amongst others in taverns, etc, make the cities have lasting appeal. I don't think Whiterun is going to be MASSIVE, but it's certainly going to be big with lots to do.
