This insightful book explores smaller towns and cities, places in
which the majority of people live, highlighting that these more
ordinary places have extraordinary geographies. It focuses on the
development of an alternative approach to urban studies and theory
that foregrounds smaller cities and towns rather than much larger
cities and conurbations. Comparative case studies from Australia,
Cambodia, India, Korea, the UK and US provide a rich collection of
theoretically informed investigations into smaller urban centres
that are connected in complex ways to regional, national and
international flows of people, goods, ideas and materials. The book
further examines policy development and implementation in smaller
towns and cities. Chapters analyse core societal challenges,
including economic restructuring, urban decline and renewal, and
ageing populations. This is a timely and important book for
students of human geography, urban studies, planning, and economic
geography, particularly those focusing on cities and economic
development. It will also appeal to policymakers and planners
seeking insights on current debates reframing urban theory to
embrace more ordinary towns and cities.
