Some of the big Future Planning is aimed at getting most people to live in huge cities, to concentrate the population where water, heating, shopping, working etc can be concentrated. Plans for the countryside envision mass production of food by computer-controlled machinery, with little need for human intervention, and meat grown in labs, so a minimal rural population.
To me that's a terrifying thought and I rail against it, but to many people, and clearly the planners and academics, it's the obvious answer - concentrate the workers and their needs in the cities, let them go to the countryside or overseas for vacations at recharging camps.
Change happens and it looks as if it's happening in our rural communities. Of course these changes hail back to the Industrial Revolution when the huge workforce needed was sourced from the countryside. Nothing new there.
You will need a bigger argument than 'it needs to be contained/controlled in some way' to turn the tide.
Perhaps the pandemic will change the basic premise of The Plan
