Since education makes a person more likely to leave your region, how do you justify your investment in human capital?

Globalization and Atlanta’s Gated Urban Core

At Pacific Standard magazine, the revitalization of Atlanta's urban core is not intended to benefit current residents.

Theme: Globalization and urban redevelopment.

Subject Article: "Suburbs and the New American Poverty."

Other Links: 1. "Who owns the city? Most urban Indians would consider a high-rise residential gated community to be a dream home, but sociologist Saskia Sassen find this form of architecture deeply problematic."
2. "Confronting Suburban Poverty in America."
3. "Not Dead Yet: The Infill of Cleveland's Urban Core."
4. "Trolling for millennials with the Atlanta Streetcar."
5. "Mapping Migration in Atlanta: Visualizing Local Migration Trends in the South’s Biggest City."

Postscript: My take on the Atlanta streetcar project is one-sided and unfair. I don't care how anyone spins it. It's a first rate boondoggle that will do a world of harm. For a better perspective on this issue, give this piece from Next City a read.
