Why the growth of cities in developed countries has slowed down?

The growth of cities in developed countries has slowed due to several factors, including urban saturation, where most of the population already resides in urban areas, leading to diminished opportunities for further expansion. Additionally, economic shifts toward remote work and telecommuting have reduced the need for dense urban living. Environmental concerns and a desire for sustainable living have also prompted some individuals to seek homes in suburban or rural areas, further decelerating urban growth. Lastly, rising housing costs and affordability issues in cities discourage new residents from moving in.
