"If you're a mayor, economic developer, city builder, scholar, or student who wants to understand how small and medium-sized cities have fared in our rapidly changing economy, then Revitalizing American Cities is the book for you. Wachter and Zeuli bring together a wide range of scholars to consider how and why these cities have combated decline and revitalized and become more resilient, the role of neighborhood factors in urban revitalization, and how cities can best adapt to the new economy."--Richard Florida, author of The Rise of the Creative Class, The American economy's success resides in its ability to continually remake itself. This is clearest in our cities. Read this book to understand why some cities succeed at this and others fall short., "America's older industrial cities once powered the nation's economy. Now these places must adapt to a new reality in which the U.S. manufacturing industry is no longer ascendant. Required reading for anyone working to stabilize and strengthen America's industrial cities."--Manny Diaz, former Mayor of Miami and past President of the U.S. Conference of Mayors, "The American economy's success resides in its ability to continually remake itself.

These essays provide what policymakers and practitioners need: practical strategies for reinvention based on well-documented evidence and compelling examples., "Wachter and Zeuli have created an invaluable resource for anyone involved in reinvigorating our struggling cities.

Synopsis
Small and midsized cities played a key role in the Industrial Revolution in the United States as hubs for the shipping, warehousing, and distribution of manufactured products. But as the twentieth century brought cheaper transportation and faster communication, these cities were hit hard by population losses and economic decline. In the twenty-first century, many former industrial hubs--from Springfield to Wichita, from Providence to Columbus--are finding pathways to reinvention. With innovative urban policies and design, once-declining cities are becoming the unlikely pioneers of postindustrial urban revitalization. Revitalizing American Cities explores the historical, regional, and political factors that have allowed some industrial cities to regain their footing in a changing economy. The volume discusses national patterns and drivers of growth and decline, presents case studies and comparative analyses of decline and renewal, considers approaches to the problems that accompany the vacant land and blight common to many of the country's declining cities, and examines tactics that cities can use to prosper in a changing economy. Featuring contributions from scholars and experts of urban planning, economic development, public policy, and education, Revitalizing American Cities provides a detailed, illuminating look at past and possible reinventions of resilient American cities.
