I could be wrong, but I believe automation will change that simply because it will be easier for the corps to provide more services to employees without having to hire/control more people that are not necessary for the corporate city to function. It will also be easier to manage all these people using advanced automation/ai, and make the whole enterprise more profitable. It might not look like the old school corporate campuses with one corporation controlling everything, but more like cities with high concentration of similar businesses. These corporations usually have so much power in these cities that they basically control them.

Also, when automation starts to really impact most jobs on the market, we can expect that there will be some increase in crime. People will move towards safer areas, and corporations will be happy to provide them.
