It has not been decreasing, but I don't have the exact data with me.
Some areas of activity only develop in urban settings. Take, for instance, the cultural cooperative sector. There aren't many cultural cooperatives in small villages, but there are in Quebec City and Montreal. That sector has developed a lot in urban areas.
In addition, many cooperatives are now starting up in immigrant communities, as well.
The cooperative approach is very adaptable. It is based on a need, which varies depending on the environment.
