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


 

The decline in sun-belt cities of America has followed on from the decline of those in the rust-belt. 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.
