Conclusions: priorities for tackling shrinkage in Europe’s citiesReviewsYou will find in this book key answers for the dilemma that half of European cities are facing: How to deal with shrinking when expansion and growth were always the only way for decision makers and practitioners envisioned the future of their cities? How to develop a liveable city with this new paradigm and to transform threats in opportunities? With a variety of contributions, the authors call for new governance and strategy at the city level to bring together physical, social and economic interventions. They clearly confirm the priorities for 2014-2020 of European programmes on exchange and learning, like URBACT III, based on their experience. -Emmanuel Moulin, Head of the URBACT Secretariat Shrinking cities are a pressing contemporary challenge for urban planners, designers, and policymakers in postindustrial societies around the globe. Highlighting European innovations in the social and governmental sectors, William Neill and Hans Schlappa's volume will be a valuable resource for academics, practitioners, and citizens concerned with urban revitalization. -Brent D. Ryan, Massachusetts Institute of Technology While contemporary urban studies and policy are seemingly obsessed with city growth, this landmark collection focuses on the flipside of decline. In Future Directions for the European Shrinking City, William J.V. Neill and Hans Schlappa have convened key international voices, analysing the causes, predicaments and the paths ahead for cities confronting shrinkage. This is a critical text for cross-disciplinary scholarship, debates and policy deliberation. -Andy Pike, Newcastle University The mega-trends of shrinkage across Europe's urban landscapes are clear. What we struggle with is how to tackle the complexity of challenges involved in making Europe's shrinking cities liveable again. Neill and Schlappa address the issue directly by providing the reader with a vivid tapestry of workable strategies and practical solutions. We need more books like this one. -Vlad Mykhnenko, University of Birmingham You will find in this book key answers for the dilemna that half of European cities are facing: How to deal with shrinking when expansion and growth were always the only way for decision makers and practitioners envisioned the future of their cities?
