title: The re-emergence of core region growth:  a return to the metropolis?
abstract: Recent trends in migration in the United States are reviewed, focusing on the links between regional and metropolitan population change.  Three explanations for the counterurbanization phenomenon of the 1970s are presented and their implications for future migration trends considered.  The author concludes that "while 1970s core region declines may have been strongly linked to the counterurbanization process, post-1980 core region gains do not appear to signal a return to the metropolis."
