Sustainable Infrastructure in Shrinking Cities Report (download pdf)
Sustainable Infrastructure in Shrinking Cities: Options for the Future is a research project completed by the Center for Public Administration and Public Policy and the Cleveland Urban Design Collaborative at Kent State University. The report includes a synopsis of recent literature regarding the management of water, sewer, transportation, and energy infrastructure in shrinking cities. It presents findings from a series of interviews with infrastructure management professionals, most of whom are from Northeast Ohio. The work is focused on the City of Cleveland, but the findings should be applicable to other cities in similar circumstances.
