This book explores the challenges population decline presents for
Europe's urban and rural areas. It features recent demographic data
and trends not only for Europe as a whole, but also for selected
countries, and compares growth and shrinkage from a historical as
well as a theoretical perspective. In addition, the book critically
reviews relevant notions from geography, sociology, and public
administration. It also identifies good practices across Europe.
Throughout, theories are complemented with concrete examples and
proposals are made on how to tackle demographic shrinkage in
European cities and villages, from attempts to attract new
residents to the countryside to innovative ways to guarantee public
services. In the end, the authors conclude that solving the
challenges caused by population decline require novel ways of
thinking and provide answers to such future-oriented questions as:
how to ensure the quality of life in an environment that is
inhabited by fewer and older people, what investments are needed,
and which actors should be involved. Managing Population Decline in
Europe's Urban and Rural Areas offers detailed coverage of an
underestimated and complex governance issue that asks for solutions
in which citizens have to play an important role. It concludes that
shrinkage requires a rethink of the specific tasks and roles of
government and presents a way forward based on initiatives
currently underway throughout Europe. The book will be a valuable
resource for population policy makers as well as students and
researchers interested in human geography, urban planning, rural
development, European studies, public administration, and other
social sciences.
