New trends shape northern communities for two decades
The piece argues that two long term trends may revitalize northern towns. First, spread of high speed data lines and a digital infrastructure similar to 19th century rail expansion, drawing knowledge based industries. Second, aging population driving urban-to-rural migration, boosting demand for quiet living. Together these trends could redefine northern development.
