Abstract:
What is the role demolition is likely to play in the future of shrinking industrial cities in the United States? The history of demolition is explored as a policy response to real or perceived problems. A balance between demolition and preservation is critical to preserving viable neighbourhoods and restoring vitality to these cities. Older industrial cities with shrinking job and population bases are the primary case under examination. Market factors are identified that are likely to prevent the preservation and reuse of a significant part of these cities' housing stock. More extensive demolition is likely to be an unavoidable part of these cities' future. Both demolition and preservation can be considered parts of a framework through which neighbourhood revitalization can be furthered in these cities. A framework is needed that emphasizes preserving viable communities rather than individual buildings, although still irresolvable dilemmas continue to face those cities.
