"Through detailed studies of three shrinking cities, Fernando Ortiz-Moya skillfully questions the common but flawed wisdom that growth is inherently good and shrinkage is inherently a problem, revealing the potential net positives when it comes to citizen initiatives and quality of life. This book's in-depth analysis and elegant yet accessible writing will appeal to anyone with an interest in the well-being of cities."--Sonia Hirt, Dean and Hughes Professor in Landscape Architecture and Planning, University of Georgia "We're Still Here is a convincing, well-informed work of comparative scholarship that draws on diverse perspectives, contributing new insights to both the contemporary debate over urban shrinkage and the discipline of urban studies more generally. A good read for researchers, students, and policymakers alike."--Marco Bontje, Assistant Professor of Urban Geography, University of Amsterdam
