It's a false dichotomy. I suspect the metros will be less industrial and I bet the country-side will be more industrial.
I suspect cities to sprawl a little more in the future if we can ever get our mass transportation act together.

New cities and centres of commerce & manufacture will emerge in obscure locations.
