If it's sustained, the high tech boom and development of the Innovation District should help considerably, as will more new residential projects in the Downtown. Guelph, Cambridge (Galt) and Stratford have more attractive urban cores and have their respective advantages, but they lack K-W's energy, which is really what defines this town these days.

Definitely. KW is on the verge of some great things (from an urban standpoint). I'm quite curious to see what it will look like in 20 years.
