In 1925, urban planner & historian Lewis Mumford described four “great tides” of migration that reflected the economic transformation of the US. Eight decades later, Robert Fishman (professor of architecture & urban planning at the University of Michigan) noted the large-scale return of people to global cities, labeling it the Fifth Migration. Today’s great tide, the Sixth Migration, is ebbing from global cities & towards a better quality of life.

More GLUE Buffalo Publicity
I'm becoming a podcast junky. If you would like to know more about the GLUE initiative and what went on in Buffalo this past weekend, listen to the WBFO interview with Buffalo Rising and Paul Hogan, vice president of the John R. Oishei Foundation. The podcast is only 15 minutes long and I learned a lot about GLUE, such as the plan to engage Canadian cities sharing the Great Lakes economic experience.
