- Summary:
- Small Cities USA illustrates how smaller cities in the United States changed over the last third of the twentieth century by examining eighty similarly sized places (populations between 100,000 and 200,000) experienced divergent fates of growth and prosperity or stagnation and dilapidation. These cities are assessed between 1970 and 2000 to consider the factors that have altered their physical, social, and economic landscapes.
