Sunburnt Cities (eBook, ePUB)

The Great Recession, Depopulation and Urban Planning in the American Sunbelt

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The decline in sun-belt cities of America has followed on from the decline of those in the rust-belt. Justin B. Hollander addresses the reasons and statistics behind these shrinking cities with a positive outlook, arguing that growth for growth's sake is not beneficial for communities, suggesting instead that urban development could be achieved through shrinkage. Case studies include Phoenix, Fresno and Flint.
