For all of earth, I assume the biggest trend in city migration is actually global warming. Desert expansion, failing crops, ... with all the fallout of consequentially destabilized villages/societies, civil wars, and so on, leading to mass immigration, ..., it's rather easy to see how global warming might be a big factor. It's just less obvious, because the regions hit hardest by global warming, are probably rather far away from western societies.
