Back to the City
Photo by: Ethan Finkelstein
The Back to the City Movement started in the 1960s as a reaction to 20 years of the middle class fleeing cities in favor of suburbs. The newly-built highways facilitated this escape from city “blight”, and propelled the nation into a car-dependent, sprawl-happy era. Back to the City hoped to counter that idea, promoting the concept of urban density as sustainable, affordable, beautiful, and community-building. On May 23, 2007, the world’s population officially became more urban than rural. We love the news, in the Atlantic Monthly, on NPR, and from North Carolina State University that gives us a taste of the future of the suburbs. It’s nice to think that as more people are moving back and investing in our institutions, having and raising a family in the city is seeming less and less like a crazy idea.
