Legacy cities, also commonly referred to as shrinking, or
post-industrial cities, are places that have experienced sustained
population loss and economic contraction. In the United States,
legacy cities are those that are largely within the Rust Belt that
thrived during the first half of the 20th century. In the second
half of the century, these cities declined in economic power and
population leaving a legacy of housing stock, warehouse districts,
and infrastructure that is ripe for revitalization. This volume
explores not only the commonalities across legacy cities in terms
of industrial heritage and population decline, but also their
differences. Legacy Cities poses the questions: What are the
legacies of legacy cities? How do these legacies drive contemporary
urban policy, planning and decision-making? And, what are the
prospects for the future of these cities? Contributors primarily
focus on Cleveland, Ohio, but all Rust Belt cities are discussed.
