It is my thought that the movement to cities and growth of cities will overcome the tribal allegiences that are territorial.

Fathers and uncles are tribal, sons and cousins in cities pay lipservice. Grandsons forget about it altogether.

I think you are right, that urbanization weakens tribalism by replacing its allegiances with other forms of social organization that work better in non-rural, nonagrarian economic settings.
