Shrinking Cities




Shrinking Cities is a traveling exhibition that began in Germany in 2002 and explores how cities today are literally shrinking.  

How do cities address this phenomenon?  AND, in eastern Germany's case, should surplus apartments be demolished?  

This struck me; here in the US, we always seem to replace the old with the new.  Could we ever settle for simply getting rid of the old.  Why can't "empty" space satisfy us?
