Urban regeneration and the flight of people to urban areas is also likely to exacerbate the Technology Divide between rural and urban populations.
The Technology Divide is also a threat to societies and governments, and itself further feeds the Wealth Divide and Health Divide as access to technology plays a large role in facilitating the growth of wealth and access to advanced healthcare.

Indeed. with a reduced percentage of the population living in rural areas, and often the high cost of deploying infrastructure in these areas relative to the number of potential customers, this value proposition gets substantially worse with the megatrend of urban regeneration exacerbating the Technology Divide.

Changes in one variable may produce large impacts because all of the variables - affluence, technology, and population - are multiplied.

Urban regeneration and the flight of people to urban areas is also likely to exacerbate the Technology Divide between rural and urban populations. While rural populations often lag behind their urban counterparts today in terms of their access to technology, such as high speed internet or reliability of cell service, this divide is likely to become more prevalent with an even higher percentage of the population living in urban areas, incentivizing companies and governments to concentrate resources and deployment of new technologies in these urban centers, and ignoring the needs of rural customers. Even the development and use of peer-to-peer platforms is concentrated in urban areas where people have closer proximity to each other and more widely used technology platforms to facilitate transactions. Even now, according to the International Telecommunications Union, while by 2015 89% of the world's urban population had access to a 3G network, only 29% of the rural population enjoyed such access. Indeed. with a reduced percentage of the population living in rural areas, and often the high cost of deploying infrastructure in these areas relative to the number of potential customers, this value proposition gets substantially worse with the megatrend of urban regeneration exacerbating the Technology Divide.
Addressing inequalities in access to technology, whether the inequality is driven by demographics, the urban versus rural divide, wealth inequalities, or other factors is an imperative for a society that wants to make the most of its productive potential.
An in-depth assessment of how the megatrends will have a profound impact at the societal level, reveals that these megatrends, in combination, exert strong pressures for growing divides within society in three primary areas: The Wealth Divide, The Health Divide, and The Technology Divide.
The Technology Divide is also a threat to societies and governments, and itself further feeds the Wealth Divide and Health Divide as access to technology plays a large role in facilitating the growth of wealth and access to advanced healthcare.
