The shrinking city phenomenon is a multidimensional process that
affects cities, parts of cities or metropolitan areas around the
world that have experienced dramatic decline in their economic and
social bases. Shrinkage is not a new phenomenon in the study of
cities. However, shrinking cities lack the precision of systemic
analysis where other factors now at work are analysed: the new
economy, globalisation, aging population (a new population
transition) and other factors related to the search for quality of
life or a safer environment. This volume places shrinking cities in
a global perspective, setting the context for in-depth case studies
of cities within Mexico, Brazil, Indonesia, Germany, France, Great
Britain, South Korea, Australia, and the USA, which consider
specific economic, social, environmental, cultural and land-use
issues.
