The assumption was wrong. The world has organized around cities for millennia, and we're supposed to believe that a few advances in communication would change that? Since when has communication ever been so important? Until you can start teleporting physical goods and people stop caring about social needs, you won't see any change in urbanization. In fact, as resource scarcity increases, you'll likely see increases in urbanization.
