“…In terms of population trends, the impact of the 'second demographic transition' resulted in falling birth rates among residents, a growing fragmentation of families, an increase of oneperson households, and changes in residents' life styles (Buzar et al, 2007). According to Fishman (2000) and Watters (2004), the process of reurbanisation includes a return of former urban residents from suburbia and the segmentation of inner city neighbourhoods between various social strata. The reurbanisation process is closely linked with demographic developments and with the composition of urban populations.…”

“…Economic decline in old industrialized cities, particularly in the cases of Glasgow, Liverpool and Manchester in Europe (Couch, 2004;Couch et al, 2005;Grant, 2006;Kidd, 2006;Ferrari & Roberts, 2004), and in Detroit, Pittsburg, Cleveland and Youngstown in the US (Fishman, 2000;Beauregard, 2003Beauregard, , 2006Booza & Metzger, 2004;Pallagst, 2009) are just some of the examples referred in the literature. In such cities, urban shrinkage is characterized by job and population loss, disinvestment and a lack of economic competitiveness.…”

Over the last few decades, the term urban shrinkage has come to be accepted as a valid concept in international academic circles, and has gradually gained importance, with its causes the subject of well-documented discussion. While previous discussions of urban shrinkage have directed attention to cities shrinking as a whole, recent research started to recognize the case of shrinkage in growing cities and regions. As such, recent discussions of urban shrinkage indicate that patterns of shrinkage vary considerably from city to city, and from sub-region to sub-region, with the importance of local dynamics in responding to changing economic pressures given much consideration. Recent studies have tended to disregard the role of government policies and strategies put in place to facilitate the adaptation of the urban economies to the new conditions. Taking Izmir as an example, being a fast-growing metropolitan region in Turkey, this paper presents evidence of government policies and strategies aimed at enhancing the development of peripheral areas that have led to shrinkage of the metropolitan core. This paper focuses on this experience and discusses its implications.

“…In 1999, to commemorate the turn of the century, U.S. News and World Report (1999) included the Interstate system among "25 Shapers of the Modern Era." That same year, a survey by the Fannie Mae Foundation listed the Interstate Highway System, along with the dominance of the automobile, as the number one influence on the American metropolis over the last 50 years (Fishman 2000). Also on the list of top influences were federal housing mortgages and subdivision regulation (number 2), and urban renewal originated by the 1949 Federal Housing Act (number 4) (see Table 6.1) (Weingroff 2000).…”

This is one of a series of reports produced as a result of the Transportation Energy Futures (TEF) project, a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)-sponsored multi-agency project initiated to identify underexplored strategies for abating greenhouse gases and reducing petroleum dependence related to transportation. The project was designed to consolidate existing transportation energy knowledge, advance analytic capacity-building, and uncover opportunities for sound strategic action.Transportation currently accounts for 71% of total U.S. petroleum use and 33% of the nation's total carbon emissions. The TEF project explores how combining multiple strategies could reduce GHG emissions and petroleum use by 80%. Researchers examined four key areas -lightduty vehicles, non-light-duty vehicles, fuels, and transportation demand -in the context of the marketplace, consumer behavior, industry capabilities, technology and the energy and transportation infrastructure. The TEF reports support DOE long-term planning. The reports provide analysis to inform decisions about transportation energy research investments, as well as the role of advanced transportation energy technologies and systems in the development of new physical, strategic, and policy alternatives.In addition to the DOE and its Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, TEF benefitted from the collaboration of experts from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory and Argonne National Laboratory, along with steering committee members from the Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Transportation, academic institutions and industry associations.

Contract LIST OF TABLES EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Designing the Built Environment to Reduce Energy Use and EmissionsUrban form has evolved in response to a variety of demographic, social, economic, technological, and policy drivers. While direct authority over land use resides primarily at the local level, the federal government's transportation and housing policies have indirectly influenced the built environment. These policies accelerated mid-and late-20 th century trends of decentralization and declines in population density that were driven by increasing automotive mobility and the post-World War II baby boom. Suburbanization now shows some signs of slowing or reversing in response to demographic, economic, and cultural changes, renewing interest in smaller homes in urban settings. Local governments are increasingly impl...
