Indeed, the phrasing does change the meaning. It is ridiculous that real estate speculation cause population growth rather than the other way around. The only way speculation can intensify is if there is a growth in demand for land, which follows from an increase in population.

  Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Communist Party of Canada, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Thank you. -- LuK3 (Talk) 16:44, 12 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
