By studying population trends and forecasting models, researchers have come to believe that nearly 15,000 U.S. cities will face noticeable depopulation by 2100.
Populated areas of the cities in question could experience a decline of up to 44 percent.
Projections call for the biggest drops in city populations to occur in the Northeast and Midwest.

This is probably a good thing, it's more efficient if people live within larger municipal areas closer to amenities. It's very inefficient if we have small towns everywhere that need their own supplies. I'm not saying we should all live in one massive city, just that at scale, things become more accessible to people.
