In amsterdam this is also happening to my knowledge. The main reason is that the city center is becoming too expensive for native-amsterdammers with a medium income to live. Lots of high-income (often expats) are willing to pay more for living in the city center.

It seems that we have a global undersupply of city centers and oversupply of boring places noone really wants to live in.

That's true in the US, but not necessarily elsewhere. There are lots of great cities in Germany which could stand for some growth; people have been talking about Leipzig recently.

Deutsche Welle just did a series on Leipzig ("Hypezig") on their Made In Germany show this week:

Germany is lucky to be decentralized.

But for many countries, everybody seems to be trying to get in the capital - which is an awful dynamics.
