Yes, we approaching peak population, but local population density will change over time. Currently, the population of cities is increasing, but it can change if remote work will be more accepted(outside of IT).
- volkl48 7y agoI'm not sure I agree with the notion that the sole reason for continued urbanization is employment access. I think we've reached a point where a large and growing portion of the population wants a level of amenities/services that can only be realistically provided in areas of sufficient population density. Now, there could certainly be some shift that changes that, but I'm not sure what it would be.

I wouldn't want to live in the country side for long term. I want to access things that only cities can provide, but I only moved to London because of job opportunities. I would happy to live in a small city if I have access to the same jobs. If remote work would be more widespread the countries would be more decentralized.
