Airport; Procedure
While in the traffic pattern we turned to a left crosswind and encountered a traffic conflict with another aircraft (C172) who was downwind. We did not receive any kind of advisory or instruction(s) from ATC. Both pilots (us and the other aircraft) took proper evasive action. Contributing to the incident; the controller was working 2 runways in a very busy environment. In addition; the other aircraft appeared to be in a longer traffic pattern than normal.
C182 Pilot reported a NMAC on crosswind at controlled airport resulted in evasive action.
