However, I think to say the urban is "winning" isn't a meaningful statement because it's always going to 'win' by having more influence. If anything, it's more of a call to those of rural persuasions to maybe step a bit outside their comfort zones and appreciate the dynamism and opportunities that the city offers. I guess more of a mutual respect instead of hatred for "backwoods" or "progressive" worldviews and what comes with them. As for Christians, this is a stern reminder to reflect back in Scripture of God's particular love for and expression to cities and to show some guts and engage instead of avoid.
