There's no better guide than Mallach for this truly global journey into the past, present, and future of cities. With characteristic sharpness and vitality, one of America's keenest urban observers shares an essential truth: that shrinking cities need not be declining ones. As cities across the world stare down demographic transformation and slow population growth, this book provides reason for optimism and initiative. --Kenan Fikri, Director of Research, Economic Innovation Group In Smaller Cities in a Shrinking World Alan Mallach provides a deep and engaging examination of how population decline and migration patterns in much of the world will shape our cities in the decades to come. Mallach implores urban leaders to break free from the long-held paradigm that economic advancement requires growth, come to terms with (for some) the inevitability of shrinkage, and invest in the localized assets they already have in order to realize a more prosperous and sustainable future. --Jennifer S. Vey, Senior Fellow and Director, The Anne T. and Robert M. Bass Center for Transformative Placemaking, Brookings Metro
