This book examines Warren, a suburb of Detroit, Michigan, as a
shrinking city facing a crisis of economic downturn, automotive
restructuring, high unemployment, and real estate foreclosures. The
author explores Warren's attempt to develop planning strategies,
culturally-based initiatives, community design projects, and
creative partnerships in the region in order to address the
challenges of shrinkage and foreclosures at multiple scales. Global
urban development is currently characterized by varied combination
of metropolitan growth and urban core shrinkage. While much of the
shrinkage is concentrated in central cities, first suburbs are now
facing the same problem. The Warren case illustrates opportunities
for flexible policies combining rightsizing, shared maintenance,
and incremental development in struggling first suburban
communities, which are less studied and often ignored.
