[quote=scaredyclassic]From 1918 to 2020 the trend seems urban[/quote]
There were a few trends in that 100 years.
In the early 1900s, people left rural for urban.
Post WW2, people left urban and went suburban.
In the last decade or two, there has been an urban revival while suburbs have done just fine also though rural is still decaying. Watch the Daily Woo on Youtube – he travels the back roads of the heartland and films rural communities that are almost nonexistent now in 10-15 min clips. It’s fun to imagine a time when they were bustling with activity. He even did a segment on the town where my father was born – I think the population there is under 50 now, the stores his family shopped in haven’t been open for decades and the buildings are about to fall over under their own weight.
Will CV set off a new movement? Possible but I’m not sure it will be one of significant size.
