There are 2 ways to look at that. It is NOT the "experts" that fear population dropping - it is the owners of large businesses that want a large customer base, while ALSO paying their employees minimal wages. It is the peons that fight the high traffic and bad air to get to work at 8 AM, while the large business owners arrive by chauffeur at 10 AM. Businesses want dense populations to buy their goods. Everyone (most people) complain about bad roads and too much traffic. But, the other side of that equation is - if there were less people, in any given area, the traffic would be less, the roads would NOT have potholes, and the commute would be enjoyable. It is juvenile to assume that more is better in everything. That is a strange example about African population increasing, because their cities are HOPELESSLY overcrowded and most are CONSTANTLY at war. Population density gets eventually corrected by war and diseases. The US did not learn anything from COVID. As sure as darkness becomes light - there will be another Covid-like PANDEMIC.
