The beginnings of an urban renaissance
Series: Town and Country Planning ; 73(7/8) July/August 2004, 228-231(4)Publication details: 2004Subject(s): Summary: Examines a new study, which sees recent migration flows into and out of English cities as the possible glimmerings on a new pro-urban movement. The study analysed migration figures as they apply to the principal central cities of the six non-London conurbations and their other metropolitan districts and confirmed that these central areas have behaved somewhat differently over the1990s from the secondary conurbation towns and cities. Concludes that the evidence from the study suggests that there is a growing attraction for city living. However, while the cities have reduced their net migration loss, it would be premature to think in terms of an urban renaissance. Statistical tables cover migration moves over the 1990s and specifically net metropolitan loss for the West Midlands.
