The “corrective period” which we are now entering will be launched by recession and could possibly be prolonged by economic catastrophe so deep, that the only difference between the coming economic nightmare and depression are the words used to describe it. Techno-man is slowly being drive out of the suburbs by rising transportation costs. As the new urban homesteader returns to the cities, the nation’s urban centers will undergo a rapid, possibly revolutionary renewal process.

The old model of decrepit, dangerous inner cities will give way through force of urban renovation, investment and the necessity of sustainable living. The ensuing juxtaposition of investment, political capital and restructuring of urban populations will be the defining moment of the 21st century. In the Fifth Migration, the battle over urban real estate, the transformation of entire cities and neighborhoods, the restructuring the the nation's food chain and economy will prove to be just as world shaking as the "European Discovery" of the "New World."
