Ob in Großbritannien oder Belgien, in Finnland, Italien, Russland, Kasachstan oder China: überall schrumpfen Städte. Während man in den urbanistischen Debatten der vergangenen Jahre das Augenmerk hauptsächlich auf das Wachstum der Megapolen richtete, bilden sich parallel dazu Zonen der Schrumpfung, die von Bevölkerungsverlusten in Millionenhöhe und hoher Arbeitslosigkeit gekennzeichnet sind. Globalisierung und der Übergang zum Postsozialismus haben diesen Prozess, der in den westlichen Industrieländern mit der Suburbanisierung bereits früher eingesetzt hat, noch beschleunigt. Ausgehend von konkreten Fallbeispielen werden hier Ursachen und Dynamik von Schrumpfungsprozessen erstmals weltweit in den Blick genommen. Manchester/Liverpool (GB), Detroit (USA), Ivanovo (RUS) und Halle/Leipzig (D) stehen dabei im Zentrum einer internationalen Untersuchung, die sich auf die Lebensbedingungen und den kulturellen Wandel in von Bevölkerungsrückgang und wirtschaftlicher Schrumpfung geprägten Stadtregionen konzentriert. Kulturelle Untersuchungen und künstlerische Beiträge sensibilisieren unsere Wahrnehmung eines hochbrisanten Phänomens, das als inneres Bild noch kaum existiert.

Perfect gift for little nephew
Format: Paperback
Young fella was asking for this book and I got it for him. He likes it and he’s very happy. That makes me happy as well. He says the illustrations and story are cool. That’s all I have to say about that. I guess this book falls in the same category as the “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” book series. Wish I had these books when I was a young one. Only read Peanuts and Garfield on the weekend newspaper back in the days.

Purchased just because
Format: Hardcover
I bought this for my 9yr old he would watch them on YouTube and then I found this book. He read it in no time. I guess he liked it a lot, he didn't complain that he didn't. So if your kiddo enjoys watching them on YouTube then I'm pretty sure they will enjoy reading this book. Just being honest.
