They should reduce business taxes out of urban areas to encourage companies to move and setup there. In today's world, there economic advantage of being collocated is not as strong.
Bankers, lawyers etc., sure, downtown, but everything else can be way out in the townships.
Aside from Paris and London, most European cities don't have sprawling burbs, rather, you go through tons of little villages in the periphery.
With high speed trains making 'town XYZ to Paris' in 1 hr, it shouldn't be so bad to put companies within a couple of hours driving distance from main centres.
This is also an issue of migration: most newcomers move to cities.
