No. People are _forced_ to move into large cities. And people who refuse that are being subjected to ever-increasing economic pressure.

_Choice_ means that there is a viable option to _not_ do it.

And more and more people do not _have_ this option. They have to move into dense cities because it's the only location that has half-decent job options.

I don't have data for Europe, but in the US the gap is growing between people who _want_ to live outside the dense cities and people who do.
