I think we've hit peak density already and the rest of the 21st century will be defined by people moving into former farmlands

  I think just the opposite, people want more density but outdated views have made it illegal. Former farmlands are cheap, dense areas are super expensive. The market has spoken, yet we continue to undersupply density by regulatory fiat, against the will of the people.

      Relatively dense small villages are a thing in many places. (And historically probably dominated.) Of course, as they get bigger, you've basically created at least a smaller city. And if they stay small you're going to have to travel to a great number of day-to-day locations like larger stores, medical, etc. that depend on a critical mass to operate.
