By 2030, the U.S. will grow by nearly 50 million residents and undergo two dramatic demographic transitions: Baby Boomers moving out of the workforce while their children—the Millennials—move into housing and job markets, leading to growing demand for rental housing from the large, young, and diverse Millennial population and increasing attrition out of older owner-occupied homes. What challenges and opportunities do these transitions hold for cities?

Mexican Cities Inscribed on the World Heritage List, a Current Overview

The Historic City might be perceived as a complex and unpredictable phenomenon. The geographer, for example, always found virgin or rural areas but always stopped at the gates of the city; the historian meanwhile, has been concerned with restoring the livelihoods of different generations and describe the evolution of the material framework and conditions of their habitat, but in short, different specialists of urban phenomenon have never been able to fully reflect all dimensions.
