I've spent a lot of time building automated assembly lines and I think the writers of the article (and the underlying research) gets a lot wrong. I doubt the smallest cities will be prime automation areas since areas with high degrees of automation require a few highly-skilled robot babysitters that are unlikely to relocate into the provinces. I think large cities are much more likely to see high automation rates due to economies of scale and small citiies will either stay the same or businesses will simply leave.
