Probably the same reason that urbanization has been taking place in every single country on the planet for the last two hundred years. Advances in agriculture means less people are needed on farms to feed the population and the remaining population tends to gravitate to more densely populated areas where there is greater economic opportunity.I was curious as to why the population of urban Canada is growing at a faster rate than rural Canada.
There simply isn't enough economic activity in rural areas to support the number of people needing to work. Yes, it's nice to live in the wide open spaces and I don't begrudge anyone with the ability to seek that lifestyle, but realistically it will only ever be for the minority of the population.
