Shrinking Cities: Understanding Shrinkage and Decline in the United
States offers a contemporary look at patterns of shrinkage and
decline in the United States. The book juxtaposes the complex and
numerous processes that contribute to these patterns with broader
policy frameworks that have been under consideration to address
shrinkage in U.S. cities. A range of methods are employed to answer
theoretically-grounded questions about patterns of shrinkage and
decline, the relationships between the two, and the empirical
associations among shrinkage, decline, and several socio-economic
variables. In doing so, the book examines new spaces of shrinkage
in the United States. The book also explores pro-growth and
decline-centered governance, which has important implications for
questions of sustainability and resilience in U.S. cities. Finally,
the book draws attention to U.S.-wide demographic shifts and argues
for further research on socio-economic pathways of various groups
of population, contextualized within population trends at various
geographic scales. This timely contribution contends that an
understanding of what the city has become, as it faces shrinkage,
is essential toward a critical analysis of development both within
and beyond city boundaries. The book will appeal to urban and
regional studies scholars from a variety of disciplinary
backgrounds, as well as practitioners and policymakers.
