“…First, it is necessary to consider the evolution of research on shrinking cities and suburbs. The term "shrinking city" was originally used to describe cities in Eastern Europe that struggled to adjust to the new global economy at the end of the Cold War era [18]. This era began in the wake of World War II and ended with the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991 [19].…”

Recent popular and scholarly work has drawn attention to the issue of shrinking cities. In particular, a growing body of literature has focused on the impacts of population loss on European cities, and more recently, the deindustrialized areas of the United States. Fewer scholars have examined the phenomenon of shrinkage in the suburban context. This paper explores the evolution of shrinking suburbs in the United States from 1980 to 2010. Three research questions motivate this study: (1) What is the population change in suburban neighborhoods and places from 1980 to 2010? (2) Where are shrinking suburbs located? (3) What are the trajectories of change of shrinking suburbs? A definition of shrinking suburbs using spatial and temporal criteria is operationalized. Using census tract-level data with normalized boundaries from the Neighborhood Change Database, numerous socioeconomic variables were extracted for the 30-year study period. In total, the results demonstrate that approximately one-quarter of all suburbs were shrinking. The characteristics of shrinking suburbs are identified and a typology of seven trajectories of suburban decline is developed. The conclusion reflects on the implications of shrinking suburbs for sustainable development.

“…During the last decade into the academic and public discourse it was made a great progress in recognizing the causes of the socio-economic inner peripherality, and in documenting the complexity of its consequences (see Boom & Mommaas, 2009;Ganser & Piro, 2012;Grossman et al, 2013;Martinez-Fernandez et al, 2012;Pallagst et al, 2014;Oswalt, 2005). A good deal of concerted action has already been taken on the part of many governments and local authorities in Europe and beyond, reacting to the most immediate, visible, and damaging consequences of urban shrinkage (Haase et al, 2016;Langner & Endlicher, 2007;Neill & Schlappa, 2016;Richardson & Nam, 2014).…”
