Kudos to Eve Picker and cityLAB for producing such a wonderful salon.
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.

Choose Pittsburgh
Back in early November, I flew to Pittsburgh to be a panelist for a cityLIVE! event at New Hazlett Theater. You can watch the entire discussion here. Or, you can check out Jonny Goldstein's very cool visualization. We grappled with the city's demographic challenges. I thought the exchange was lively (thanks to moderator Jesse Schell) and productive.
