It is highly probable, that Joseph was influenced by no political motive in removing the people to the cities, but merely by motives of prudence and humanity; for, as the corn was laid up in the cities, it would be more eligible to bring then from distant towns and villages to places where they might be more conveniently supplied with food.

to cities:
"And he gathered upª °¹ all¹ the foodª of the sevenª years,ª which¹ were¹ in the landª of Egypt,ª and laid upª ° the foodª in the cities:ª the foodª of the field,ª which¹ [was] round aboutª every city,ª laid he upª ° in the same.ª" {Gen 41:48}
