Description:	The purpose of this book is to showcase first suburbs—strategically located between the urban core and the suburban periphery—as new models for adaptive reuse, smart growth, economic entrepreneurship, and social diversity in the face of urban shrinkage typically characterized with large central cities. My work focuses on shrinking suburbs because these towns represent a distinct suburban condition, with their older housing stock, increasing diversity, restructuring market, and challenges of metropolitan coordination. Most of the work on shrinking cities is focused on medium and large central cities (like Detroit, Youngstown, Manchester-Liverpool, and Berlin). This project on Warren provides an alternate model to understand shrinkage in suburban communities, which is timely and long-needed. It also adds rich diversity to the academic scholarship on shrinking cities as well as on-the-ground efforts and discussions on addressing problems of shrinkage in fringe communities.
