Description:

Smaller Cities in a Shrinking World: Learning to Thrive Without Growth (Island Press, June 13) is a deep, realistic, and hopeful look at how cities can survive despite declining populations, slowing economic growth, climate change, and other global challenges.

Drawing on his decades of experience working in and writing about shrinking cities, renowned urban policy expert Alan Mallach delivers a powerful wake-up call: The era of booming global population and economic growth is over, and cities everywhere will shrink as a result.

Join us for a conversation with Mallachabout what the future holds for shrinking cities like Trenton, Detroit, and what smaller cities all over the world can teach us about building a greener, more sustainable social and economic future.
