A reasonable prediction about the future of cities and hinterlands is that urban hinterlands will continue to increase in population even if central cities do not.

This trend aligns with the ongoing pattern of urban sprawl and the growth of suburban areas, as more people seek housing in the outskirts while still commuting to central urban areas for work and access to amenities.
