A terrific article from New Geography, “The Heartland Will Play a Role in America’s Future.” Take time to read the whole thing.
One of the least anticipated developments in the nation’s 21st-century geography will be the resurgence of the American Heartland, often dismissed by coastal dwellers as “flyover country.”

These discussions always hit people where they live, so the comments section is highly interesting as well.

A very interesting article. I think you can already see this happening in some areas. It is great to see that the Heartland will play such an important role.
