Given the rapid urbanisation of the world's population, the
converse phenomenon of shrinking cities is often overlooked and
little understood. Yet with almost one in ten post-industrial US
cities shrinking in recent years, efforts by government and anchor
institutions to regenerate these cities is gaining policy urgency,
with the availability and siting of affordable housing being a key
concern. This is the first book to look at the reasons for the
failure (and success) of affordable housing experiences in the
fastest shrinking cities in the US. Applying quantitative and GIS
analysis using data from the US Department of Housing and Urban
Development, the authors make recommendations for future
place-based siting practices, stressing its importance for ensuring
more equitable urban revitalisation. The book will be a valuable
resource for academic researchers and students in urban studies,
housing and inequality, as well as policy makers.
