What causes some cities to grow, while others shrink? What are the consequences of declining populations on post-industrial cities? Is there hope that such cities can recover? In this episode of EconoFact Chats, Michael Klein and Matt Kahn, director of Johns Hopkins’ 21st Century Cities Initiative discuss some of these issues, drawing on Matt’s latest book Unlocking the Potential of Post-Industrial Cities, co-authored with Mac McComas.
