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.

YURPs, Burps, and Globalizing Big Easy

Will relocate across country for crumbs of globalization at Pacific Standard magazine.

Theme: Economic convergence and globalization.

Subject Article: "As New Orleans comes back, some neighborhoods boom, others stay blighted."

Other Links: 1. "New Orleans Restaurant Scene Rises, Reflecting a Richer City."
2. "Talent Geography 101."
3. "Economic Geography of Eds and Meds."
4. "Silicon Chasm: The class divide on America’s cutting edge."
5. "Manufacturing Migration: Who Will Move for Low-Skill, Low-Pay Jobs?"

Postscript: Who will move long distances for the crumbs of globalization? Young adults with college degrees, that's who.
