Abstract Not until the centers of American cities regain their role as the principal places where people habitually mingle will the nation overcome the long-term poverty and racial/ethnic separation that now beset it. Recentralization of offices and research, retailing, the arts, higher education, health services, and entertainment will also help to solve other pressing national problems—social, economic, environmental, and governmental. As difficult as it is to imagine major businesses and institutions relocating in city centers, it is even more difficult to imagine the alternative—ever greater apartheid.
