Revival of Downtown Areas in U.S. Cities Post-Pandemic

Cities across the U.S. are seeing a rebound in weekend activity in downtown areas, despite still recovering from the pandemic. Philadelphia's Center City has fully rebounded on weekends, while weekday office worker numbers are at 72% of pre-pandemic levels. The trend of strong after-hours activity is seen in big cities like Los Angeles, San Jose, and Houston. There is a shift towards transforming downtown areas into residential spaces and cultural hubs, with a focus on making cities adaptable to changing economies.
