Professional ones? Lots. But they don't get read as often, as they are not so spectacular. They are mostly about measures to defeat disease, hunger, very large family sizes, and so on.

Sci-fi? Also lots. But not too interesting for people who prefer dystopian sci-fi.

Me personally: I'm sure Earth could easily handle 100 billion people with current technology. And then we should expand into space. If we get immortal and able to improve without limits (transhumanism), we should limit population growth somewhat. But also allow people to spend years or decades travelling to other star systems and do as they please there.

I really, truly do not understand the people who are convinced we are in imminent danger of overpopulating the planet and all dying of starvation and disease. Have they never studied the history of such forecasts?
