From a purely economic perspective it makes sense, but I see the other side as well. Though I took it more as a “you can have a universal basic income, or you can strongly encourage people to move to urban centres, but you cannot have neither.”

I don’t think he necessarily advocated for both in conjunction with each other, but made a pretty strong case that without UBI the only things that stand a chance of surviving are strong urban centres.
