I would say that Winnipeg peaked as far as development goes in 1914, but it still had a reasonably small population at that time....by 1930, the population was close to a quarter of a million and it hadn't gone through any significant decline yet.....it had grown into itself to become a real city while still retaining all the great streets, buildings, and neighbourhoods built in the boom era....so. I would say that was likely the peak of its urbanism....
Winnipeg's peak urbanism was the day before construction on the first Richardson Building stopped in 1930.....I'll look up what that date was.
After 1930, you had the depression and then the war. Of course, after that, the word urbanism and Winnipeg can't ever be mentioned in the same sentence.
