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.

Global Erie is also mulling over what Pittsburgh might teach Northwestern Pennsylvania. I still think that Cleveland's paper of record is engaging in some shock therapy.
