Quietly shrinking cities : Canadian urban population loss in an age of growth / Maxwell Hartt.
"At 5 percent, Canada's 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 this trend and the practical challenges associated with population loss in smaller urban centres. Maxwell Hartt meticulously demonstrates that shrinking cities need to re-think their planning and development strategies in response to a new demographic reality, questioning whether population loss and prosperity are indeed mutually exclusive."-- Provided by publisher.
