Downtowns are back

I'm looking forward 2021 Canadian numbers to compare them with 2011 figures and the US metro areas.

As Canadian cities and a much higher base to begin with, in relative terms growth will be less impressive. In absolute terms, however, it seems tons of people are still moving in.

In Brazil, as trends take longer to reach here, the only city that is experiencing such phenomenon is São Paulo (thread's 1st post), starting in the 2000's but only becoming mainstream in the 2010's (I, for instance, decided to move Downtown in 2020). That's why I'm eagerly waiting local census, due to happen in 2020 but postponed to 2022 because Covid.

I guess this decade we might see this trend to reach other Brazilian major metro areas.
