Publisher:	Palgrave Macmillan
Description:	The book provides three specific narratives. First, the book presents a narrative of suburbs as a critical site of crisis at the urban periphery. It considers first ring suburb as a site of shrinkage of population and infrastructure. Second, the monograph addresses problem of metropolitan shrinkage. It considers the question of how we can attempt to address depopulation, vacancy, and foreclosures in a first-ring suburb. Broadly, this is a fundamental question of shrinkage (as opposed to growth) as a paradigm of urban design and planning. Third, within the context of shrinkage and decline, the book presents first suburbs as possible new urban models. The case study of Warren in the context of Detroit illustrates projective role of incremental development and creative partnerships in making first suburbs new models for adaptive reuse, smart growth, economic entrepreneurship, and social diversity
