This is true but they leaned into "small" a lot more than "walkable". Manhattan is just as walkable but not small. Some suburbs are small but not walkable.
One change in the city, I think, is that there is more to see in the neighbourhoods than in the past, places like Bar Kismet, Almonak, or The Narrows. Then at the other end, Barrington South is growing. Either these aren't downtown or they are downtown and downtown's not really all that compact, objectively, in the sense of attractions being an easy walk away from each other. I think this will just get more and more pronounced over time as there is more development around these areas, like all the construction around Almon Street.
