This commentary updates the "L.A.-Chicago School" debate on urbanism by highlighting the stable nexus of social and spatial processes. Spatial interdependence looms large even in global cities and across multiple dimensions of social life. I use Chicago and Stockholm to underscore the continuing if not increasing salience of place, and to provide an example of a research program that seeks to make general sense of space and the city in a comparative urban framework. I conclude that whether the Chicago or L.A. School is uniquely right is a distraction. "School" is out. We need to turn to the empirical pursuit of theoretically motivated research that can adjudicate among competing ideas and pave the way for comparative integrated knowledge
