High-Income World: Core Cities and Densification
Vancouver Alone Among Densifying Core Cities
1. Fully Developed: Densifying
Core cities that have substantially retained their 1950 boundaries, inside of which there has been little undeveloped land, and which are at their peak population. There is a single example, Vancouver, Canada.
2. Fully Developed: Not Densifying
Core cities that have substantially retained their 1950 boundaries, inside of which there has been little undeveloped land, and have lost population. There are 71 examples. (Some core cities are now growing again, but generally remain far below their peak populations).
3. Not Fully Developed: Population at Peak
Core cities that have expanded their boundaries since 1950 or have had substantial tracts of undeveloped land. For example, while New York is at its population peak, much of two boroughs (Queens and Richmond) had substantial amounts of undeveloped land in 1950. The three remaining boroughs, all of which were fully developed in 1950 remain below their population peaks.
4. Not Fully Developed: Population Falling
Core cities that have expanded their boundaries since 1950 or have had substantial tracts of undeveloped land and have lost population. For example, the US city of Milwaukee nearly doubled its area by annexation during the 1950s. Yet the latest estimates show its population to be below the pre-annexation 1950 figure.
High-income world:
Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, Israel, New Zealand, Singapore United States, Western Europe (pre-2004 enlargement European Union, Norway, Switzerland and enclaves within that area).
