Quietly Shrinking Cities: Canadian Urban Population Loss in an Age of Growth by

Description: Quietly Shrinking Cities by Maxwell Hartt Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description The first major study of its kind in Canada, Quietly Shrinking Cities examines the conceptual and empirical evolution of Canadian urban population loss. Publisher Description At 5 percent, Canadas population growth was the highest of all G7 countries when the most recent census was taken. But only a handful of large cities drove that growth, attracting human and monetary capital from across the country and leaving myriad social, economic, and environmental challenges behind. Quietly Shrinking Cities investigates a trend that has been largely overlooked: over 20 percent of Canadian cities shrank between 2011 and 2016, and twice that proportion grew more slowly than the national average. Yet continuous, ubiquitous growth is considered normal, and policy and planning professionals have had little success in managing the practical challenges associated with population loss. Declining birth rates and an aging population only compound the phenomenon. This meticulous work demonstrates that shrinking cities need to rethink their planning and development strategies in response to a new demographic reality, questioning whether population loss and prosperity are indeed mutually exclusive. Author Biography Maxwell Hartt is an assistant professor in the Department of Geography and Planning at Queens University, Kingston. He is a former Fulbright Scholar and a member of the Management Board of the Shrinking Cities International Research Network.
