Shrinking Cleveland, and Why The Garden Club Couldn't Save Youngstown
From: Smart City Radio
Length: 00:59:02
Why does one city succeed while another, very similar city is left behind. This week on Smart City we take a look at two such industrial towns, and we'll examine the uncertain future of Cleveland.
Sean Safford is the author of the book "Why the Garden Club Couldn't Save Youngstown: The Transformation of the Rust Belt". He'll tell us about the history of two former steel towns and how one succeeded while the other languished.
We'll also speak with Terry Schwartz of the Cleveland Urban Design Collective. She'll tell us about the unique challenges redeveloping the communities of Cleveland and how she is using design to re-imagine the shrinking city.
