The three areas in bold above would probably be fortunate to gain any population at all in the 2020s. I can't conceive of a scenario where they would be booming, but maybe we'll be surprised ...
That is what I figured. Louisville has a much better downtown and urban fabric. I want to see a few new towers in Louisville's skyline, but it looks like most the development is infill/rehab/low rise.
Indeed, you can see that on Crane Watch Louisville. In fact, two of the tallest proposals are in an area Raleigh has nothing even close to, the Highlands. There are a few projects with proposed towers around 20 stories for that area.
Louisville is a sleeping giant, has been for 100 years. Time will tell if it can reach its long dormant potential. Decades of NIMBYism and NE style taxes and liberal governments have held it back for at least 75 years.
Someone is going to steal this high-rise in an area most non Louisville folks on this site know knothing about, an area that is very dense, urban, and rejuvenating a few miles from downtown. Louisville is built like a real, Midwest city.
Shakeesa….Louisville has this same level of development as Raleigh (at least in non tower proposals) but things are actually getting built. A few of these plans for Raleigh look like conceptual pipe dreams, and Louisville has a few of these conceptual pipe dreams as well.
Someone better wake up Louisville than because the metro only grew 5% between 2010 and 2019 compared to Raleigh/Durham's 19.5%.
If we're just talking city limits, city of Louisville grew only by 22,000 persons between 2010 and 2019 compared to Raleigh's 70,000 population gain. Despite the City of Raleigh only being 36% the area of Louisville.
If we're talking CSA, between 2010 and 2019, Louisville/Jefferson County–Elizabethtown–Bardstown, KY-IN Combined Statistical Area grew by 71,000 persons. In the entire CSA. Compared to Raleigh-Durham-Cary, NC Combined Statistical Area that grew by 339,500.
I also only listed a tiny amount of development plans. The whole of the Triangle (Raleigh/Durham) is rapidly developing.

Sorry, but Louisville could have had YIMBYism, Southern-style taxes and conservative government 75 years ago and that wouldn't have been enough to overcome the forces that were shifting migration patterns towards the suburbs and the Sunbelt. At least it consolidated with its county to slow the bleeding a bit.

Nashville is decades away from being anything close to Atlanta. A lot can change in that time...a lot can change in 3 months!
Also, not sure when Nashville usurped Charlotte...lol
No way do Nashvillians want to be anything close to Atlanta. They're very different cities and have been for a long time. That's why they're on different tracks. Atlanta washed away its historic fabric, while Nashville still has a considerable amount left. Nashville has a river and compact downtown that is a national draw. Atlanta has sprawl and traditionally been Southern outposts for F500 companies. In the last 20 years, Nashville has its homegrown F500 companies. Nashville has a creative vibe. Atlanta has a corporate vibe. Charlotte follows in the Atlanta/corporate vein. Nashville marches to its own beat. They're very very different.

At what point do you go from 'giant' to Rip Van Winkle?

Maybe if the Cost of Living in all of the NYC metro area (not just the core cities) get so out of control.
