This is a debate that has been going on for several centuries and that affects all societies.
To address this question, we turned to 19th century England. At the start of our study in 1850, half the English population lived in towns or cities. At the end of our period, in 1910, 80% of the population lived in urban centres. And that's very much where the rest of the world is heading.
