Shrink Smart - The Governance of Shrinkage

Timisoara / Romania

Timisoara, which is one of the first 3 cities of Romania, has lost about one seventh of its population as a consequence of severe economic depression in the 1990s. In recent years the city is experiencing an economic upturn that is accompanied by a metropolitan planning strategy of the municipal government.
