Issue 05: Disposable cities
July 2004
The average American moves every 7 years. Part of that comes from planned moves through places for particular sets of people at a particular age – from the youthful neighborhoods covering much of Brooklyn to the retirement corridors outside of Phoenix. But much of that transience comes from unanticipated changes- people moving from one city to another, even one country to another, as jobs and families change unexpectedly.
