Abstract

This paper examines the phenomenon of shrinking cities, a problem defined as a major population decline in a city over an extended period. This paper focuses on Detroit as a prominent example since it went from being one of the leading city economies in the United States to declaring municipal bankruptcy over the course of the past century. From an economic perspective, the main factors that have contributed to Detroit’s population decline are a lack of economic diversity, an ineffective educational system, and a negative city image. For these findings, specific problem-solving approaches are formulated. These include an extensive focus on sports as a catalyst for community togetherness and a technology hub to create a more diversified economy to counteract further shrinking.
