Really? From what I've been reading the cities in the 1970s and 80s were a lot worse off than they are today.

I think we are seeing a global trend of mankind rediscovering urban life.

In the US at least, pre-pandemic the trend was primarily an uptick in the number of young college-educated professionals specifically wanting to live in (certain) cities. By comparison, when I finished grad school in the mid-80s, and took a job at a computer company in suburban Boston like quite a few classmates, pretty much no one elected to live in the city.
