Lots of people live in cities because THEY LIKE IT THERE. Nobody was ever "forced" to live in a city by "industrialist".

But if you need job in order to survive and job is in the city you are "forced", aren you? I guess you can say that you are free not to move and to starve.

Well, if you want to be an opera star, or even a highly paid second tier, then yes, you would have to move to where there are grand opera houses are. That would mean a large city. The same is true for people who want to be floor traders on the prominent exchanges and other things like that. But no, nobody is "FORCED BY INDUSTRIALISTS", to move to cities. And they weren't forced to move to cities when the Industrial Revolution came about either. They moved there of their own free will. It wasn't a case of starve or move.

People have always moved to cities for many different reasons, from time immemorial.
