Although that supposed trend seems to be exaggerated--at least in the US. According to this piece <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;fivethirtyeight.com&#x2F;features&#x2F;why-millennials-are-less-urban-than-you-think&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;fivethirtyeight.com&#x2F;features&#x2F;why-millennials-are-less...</a> for example, the actual trend seems to be that a fairly narrow slice of demographics (25-34 with college degrees) mildly prefer living in a few specific dense urban environments like Brooklyn.<p>Overall there is something of an urbanization trend (especially in emerging economies) but it&#x27;s not as pronounced as it&#x27;s often made out to be.
