I want to know the answer to the following question:
Did the rapid rise of motor vehicle ownership and highway developments lead to an increasing or declining inner city population?
All the background I'm provided with is that "To counter the trend towards low-density suburban residential growth, the government began a series of controversial public housing projects in the inner city by the Housing Commission of Victoria, which resulted in demolition of many neighbourhoods and a proliferation of high-rise towers.". Is that enough to answer the question?
