The latest Joel Kotkin column is up at NewGeography.com. Of course, I'm reading.
Kotkin continues to bedevil the urban planners with facts.
A few excerpts:
Speaking of the patterns in the 2010 Census numbers and the lessons that urban cores are no longer job-creation cores: ". . .the bigger story — all but ignored by the mainstream media — is the continued evolution of urban regions toward a more dispersed, multi-centered form."
He adds, "These patterns augur a bright future for an expansive American metropolis that, while not hostile to the urban center, recognizes that most businesses and families continue to prefer lower-density, decentralized settings."
What his column points out is no real surprise to those of us in the 'burbs.
Yep. Suburbs are still all the rage.
