Migration and Urban Change

Chapter 4 in Transport and the Urban Environment, 1974, pp 99-145 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract American cities continue to grow, but many are getting poorer fiscally and some face bankruptcy. People continue to migrate to urban areas, but many observers agree that the quality of life in major cities has been declining during the last decade. The problems of crime, housing, ghettoised blacks, declining tax bases, nonresident workers, education, and transportation have occupied many politicians, journalists and urban researchers.
