You could make a similar case about London, too, it has lost a lot of its mojo compared to the 2000s. The Great Financial Crisis has put a knife through its financial heart, and Brexit certainly didn't help. This recent [1] Economist article about the LSE showcases some of that gloom.

- eesmith 3y agoLondon in special for different reasons, yes. My main point though was that Vienna's population decreased greatly after its empire, and while increasing is still 10% smaller than a century ago. London's population has different dynamics, and I can't pretend to have a good reason. I can observe that https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demography_of_London https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demography_of_London shows a clear decline correlating with its shift away from being an imperial power, from ~8 million in 1951 to ~6.6M 1981.
