Based on historical trends in urbanization, a reasonable prediction about the future of cities and hinterlands is:

This prediction aligns with the ongoing trend where urban areas attract more people due to economic opportunities, amenities, and services, while rural or hinterland areas may experience population decline as people migrate to cities.
