Is it likely? No, not by a long shot. But possible? Yes-- the realm of possibility is an awfully big realm...
I don't see it happening within the next generation, I'd say the next two generations will likely repopulate these cities unless they had some apocalyptic economic circumstance, and like you said there's always a small possibility.
