This volume assesses the prospects for Snow Belt cities in the United States, Canada, and elsewhere in the world as the 21st century approaches. Topics covered include: - the revitalization of older industrial cities - the evolution of urban transactional activities - such as the interactions among finance, communication, and the arts - to the status of a major economic sector - the concept of "livable winter cities" In addition to extensive analyses of American northern cities, case studies on Sapporo, Helsinki, and Toronto are also presented. Discussions of such diverse issues as urban design, urban food policy, and the role of the arts contribute to the unique, interdisciplinary nature of this collection." --

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWhat does the future hold for winter cities? Will the migration of people and jobs to the sunbelt prove to be an irreversible trend? This volume assesses the prospects of snowbelt cities. The contributors suggest that the future of older cities in winter climates will be influenced by: the revitalization of older industrial cities; the annexation in the growth of southern cities; the concept of 'liveable winter cities'; the evolution of transactional cities as a significant sector of the economy; and new design initiatives such as multibuilding, multiblock pedestrian walkways, and mass production of glass at a low cost.
