Just Published: HANDBOOK ON SHRINKING CITIES
Compelling and engaging, this Handbook on Shrinking Cities addresses the fundamentals of urban population loss including causes of decline and innovative solutions for revitalizing shrinking cities.
Contributors provide a wide range of perspectives on governance, greening, right-sizing, and regrowth in European and US cities. Chapters explore economic prosperity, livability, social stability, and innovation in cities dealing with persistent population decline and urban vacancy. One chapter explores temporary strategies for urban vacancy through the CUDC’s on-going Pop Up City initiative.
The Handbook is geared toward students and faculty in human geography, urban planning, and urban design. A wide range of case studies also makes this a vital read for planning practitioners and community activists.
