Remaking Post-Industrial Cities: Lessons from North America and Europe examines the transformation of post-industrial cities after the precipitous collapse of big industry in the 1980s on both sides of the Atlantic; presenting a holistic approach to restoring post-industrial cities. Developed from the influential 2013 Remaking Cities Congress; conference chair Donald K. Carter brings together ten in-depth case studies of cities across North America and Europe; documenting their recovery from 1985 to 2015. Each chapter discusses the history of the city; its transformation; and prospects for the future. The cases cross-cut these themes with issues crucial to the resilience of post-industrial cities including sustainability; doing more with less; public engagement; and equity (social; economic and environmental); the most important issue cities face today and for the foreseeable future.This book provides essential "lessons learned" from the mistakes and successes of these cities; and is an invaluable resource for practitioners and students of planning; urban design; urban redevelopment; economic development and public and social policy.
