I do not think it is a matter of trying to limit the population as such, as trying to make people move from the high-population (Congested) worlds to the low-population (Preferred) worlds.

If all the worlds in a datacentre are mid- to high-population, then that is when they add new worlds - as they just did for the European datacentres. They seem reluctant to add new worlds while there still are under-populated worlds in a datacentre though - even if many of the other worlds in that datacentre are overflowing with people.
