While there certainly are some Waterloo people who will trash talk Kitchener (and in fact there are Kitchener people who trash talk Waterloo), I have never heard anyone make any claim that the reason it is called "uptown" is to denigrate downtown Kitchener. I don't buy that.
So in which case my sentence: """By definition, ""uptown"" means "in or towards the northern part of a city or town, especially if there is not much business or industry there". Though in the caveat that it's a pricier part of town as well. Although perhaps strictly speaking, it's accurate of Waterloo.""" is fairly accurate?
