The Sixth Migration

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.

Revenge of the Rabenmutter: No Sex for You

Rather than deal with the stigma of the working devil mom, Japanese women forswear intimate contact at Pacific Standard magazine.

Theme: Demographic decline.

Subject Article: "Why have young people in Japan stopped having sex?"

Other Links: 1. "Global Human Capital: Integrating Education and Population."
2. "United States of Failed Cities."
3. "Rabenmutter: Germany Waging the War for Talent Without Women."
4. "Quoth the Raven: I Bake Cookies, Too."
5. "Popular blog goes drama at Fuji TV’s “Oni Yome Nikki” and more."
6. "Is Japan a dying nation?"

Postscript: The pattern developing is that positive economic outcomes beget "dying" or "failing" cities.
