Most cities have been decreasing in population over the years.
Yes. Since the 1970s, the population of Coventry dropped, but the population of the "region" actually went up. City's tend to have desirable areas that are expensive, and people don't want to live in the dodgy areas - so they move out of town to commuter belt areas.
