>Why would a company move it's location to a small city when capital and transportation networks locate around a few very large urban centers? If anything, Amazon proved this by playing every city, big and small, against each other before settling on the powerful cities of NYC and DC.
There are companies that exist everywhere in every city. An entrepreneur who lives there can trading over the internet and bring work to his company. But there is more to industry than selling merchandise on a site like Amazon or Wayfair. I'm not sure what you think industry is. When I think of industry I am seeing sheetmetal & steel parts manufacturing. Most of whom is done in Asia because they pay a chinese worker like $2,59/h. I know of one company that exist in Texas but does some or all it's manufacturing in Mexico. Nafta has sealed that for the foreseeable future. Baring it gets too expensive to manufacture in Mexico.
The US and Canadian manufacturing can never beat that. That's A given. So any merchandise will continue to pass through important ports. Light goods will be flown in by plane. My original point is that eventually planes will become cheap enough that you can fly people out from most locations and travel a great distance on one flight. My original point was that could help grow small cities in the future.
