Dense places tend to be regarded as poor places for raising families. In simple terms, a dense future is likely to be a largely childless one.Kotkin writes that "greens, planners, architects, developers, land speculators" are pushing for more urban density. It doesn't seem to be what most buyers want.
A childless future won't keep humans going, as a species. Perhaps high urban density helps explain the very low birth rates in Europe, Singapore and Japan.
