Towns of all sizes can be walkable, there just might not be as many things to walk to.
Some examples include
My town is very walkable, although it does have 60,000 so is not that small. We also have two colleges where the campuses are walkable but no real college town and two train stations, with a third planned. Does it “become a city” because we zone to allow five story apartment building near the train station at the town common?
I grew up in a ~250k pop town which had like 90% of the town in 1h walk from the center. Not something you'll do every day but it definitely simplifies getting home after night parties.
