ConclusionReviews[Justin Hollander] favors an idea called smart decline or smart shrinkage which boils down to a version of the old lemons/lemonade wisdom: If your city stops growing, can you do something positive with that? Can you manage shrinkage the way you once hoped to manage growth? - Scott Dickensheets, Las Vegas Sun, USA [Hollander] at Tufts is a rising star in planning research - Lisa Schweitzer, Associate Professor of Urban Planning, University of Southern California, USA This is a useful analysis that will be a welcomed addition to the urban planning literature - Prof Emily Talen, School of Geographical Sciences and Urban Planning, Arizona State University, USA Hollander takes on the dominant paradigm of cities attempting to grow out of decline and challenges the common assertion that Sunbelt cities will quickly bounce back from the foreclosure crisis. He combines solid scholarship with engaging narrative to make Sunburnt Cities a must read for planners, policymakers, scholars and anyone interested in the future of these boom-and-bust places. - Dan Immergluck, Associate Professor, School of City and Regional Planning, Georgia Institute of Technology, USA Sunburnt Cities is a call to action for planners and policymakers to change course from growth at all costs to a development model that is green and economically sustainable. Hollander once again establishes intriguing connections that few have made as he eloquently describes how communities in the Sun and Rust Belt can learn from each other in addressing declining populations and increasing property vacancy. A must read for practitioners, policymakers, and researchers throughout all regions. - J.M.
