Idea

The descent property of equivalences is a somewhat degenerate form of a descent property. It asserts that in a commuting diagram of the form

     p        q
 A -----> B -----> C
 |        |        |
f|       g|        |h
 ∨        ∨        ∨
 X -----> Y -----> Z,
     i        j

if the maps i and p are equivalences, then the right square is a pullback if and only if the outer rectangle is a pullback.
