And why is that “inevitable?” Is it because capitalism makes agrarian life basically impossible?
The problem with studies based on any current trends is that they are all framed with the assumption that capitalism will continue to be the dominant socioeconomic system.
Currently the earth is overpopulated and many parts of the world are only just starting to slow their population growth. The problem of crowding is going to be here for awhile. Eventually it would be great if we could reduce our population to the point where there’s plenty of space for all, if that sounds utopian to you, but for the time being we’re going to have to live in denser areas if we want to deliver amenities and services to all (and we do).
Tbf, people moving from rural areas to more dense and urban areas is kind of inevitable as time goes on. Megacities when?
