Definition
In the direction of a city; toward the city.
Etymology
Compound of city and -ward (Old English weard, meaning 'toward,' 'in the direction of'). Following the pattern of upward, homeward, and northward.
Kelly Says
Cityward movement—rural people flowing toward cities—is one of the defining human migrations of the last 200 years, and the word captures that directional pull that cities exert on populations seeking opportunity.
