Answer 1

Based on the history of urbanization, a reasonable prediction about the future of cities and hinterlands is: **Urban hinterlands will continue to increase in population even if central cities do not.**

This prediction aligns with trends observed in urbanization where central cities may experience stagnation or decline, but surrounding areas (hinterlands) often continue to grow as people seek affordable housing, better living conditions, and other amenities.
