Live in DC: Alan Mallach’s “Smaller Cities in a Shrinking World”

Drawing on his decades of experience working in and writing about shrinking cities, renowned urban policy expert and Center for Community Progress senior fellow Alan Mallach delivers a powerful wake-up call: The era of booming global population and economic growth is over, and cities everywhere will shrink as a result. 

Out June 13, 2023, Smaller Cities in a Shrinking World: Learning to Thrive Without Growth (Island Press) is a deep, realistic, and hopeful look at how cities can survive despite declining populations, slowing economic growth, climate change, and other global challenges. Read an excerpt here.
