Since I am growing a backlog of blog fodder today, I will share some of the good reading in a classic pithy fashion. Any of the Rust Belt faithful should check out Janko's post about Grow Home, a project designed to encourage successful Youngstown State University graduates boomerang home in order to take part in the "Mahoning Valley Miracle." A Creative Class blogger picks up on another Roboburgh article in the Wall Street Journal. Lastly, learn why Pittsburghers will drive to Cleveland to fly across the country.
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.
