I mean, that's the entire reason behind the global rural-to-urban migration that's been going on for well... centuries at this point.
It's just more pronounced in the UK (and I'd expect South Korea) because London is such a dominant city in the UK.
- rantallion 3y agoIt's a shame that the exodus from London prompted by the Covid lockdowns didn't last. Perhaps we might have seen at least some equalisation across the country. Alas, anything outside of the M25 might as well be another country as far as Westminster is concerned.
- OJFord 3y agoDidn't last in what sense? Egress didn't continue(/ramp up) or significantly reversed?
- rsynnott 3y agoIn most places it happens to _more than one city_, though. London's a bit of an oddity (you see this in some smaller countries, but the UK's probably the biggest example).
