p.s. The Electoral College doesn't really have a bias toward rural areas anyway. In a world where the vote became hyperpolarized along urban/rural lines (even more than now) it would be pretty neutral or might even slightly help Dems depending on how you calculate everything.
If you're going strictly by urbanization, Democrats should be winning TX, AZ and FL in close elections, which makes up for further losses in the upper Midwest ,(but not PA, which is more urban) and northern New England (ME, VT!).
p.p.s. Some of structural biases of the current map are caused by the fact that urban areas are very, very blue, whereas rural areas are merely very red. But if rural areas become very, very red—and they're becoming that way—Republicans start to have a lot of wasted votes too.
