Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
America's oncevibrant smalltomidsize cities Syracuse, Worcester, Akron, Flint,Rockford, and others increasingly resemble urban wastelands. Gutted by deindustrialization,outsourcing, and middleclass flight, disproportionately devastated by metro freeway systems thatlaid waste to the urban fabric and displaced the working poor, small industrial cities seem to bepart of America's past, not its future. And yet, Catherine Tumber argues in this provocative book,America's gritty Rust Belt cities could play a central role in a greener, lowcarbon, relocalizedfuture.As we wean ourselves from fossil fuels and realize the environmental costsof suburban sprawl, we will see that small cities offer many assets for sustainable living notshared by their big city or small town counterparts, including population density and nearby,fertile farmland available for new environmentally friendly uses.Tumber traveledto twentyfive cities in the Northeast and Midwest from Buffalo to Peoria to Detroit to Rochester interviewing planners, city officials, and activists, and weaving their stories into thisexploration of smallscale urbanism. Smaller cities can be a critical part of a sustainable futureand a productive green economy. Small, Gritty, and Green will help us develop themoral and political imagination we need to realize this.
