Demolition and preservation in shrinking US industrial cities
What is the role demolition is likely to play in the future of shrinking industrial cities in the United States? The history of demolition is explored as a policy response to real or perceived problems. A balance between demolition and preservation is critical to preserving viable neighbourhoods and restoring vitality to these cities. Older industrial cities with shrinking job and population bases are the primary case under examination. Market factors are identified that are likely to prevent the preservation and reuse of a significant part of these cities' housing stock. More extensive demolition is likely to be an unavoidable part of these cities' future. Both demolition and preservation can be considered parts of a framework through which neighbourhood revitalization can be furthered in these cities. A framework is needed that emphasizes preserving viable communities rather than individual buildings, although still irresolvable dilemmas continue to face those cities. Quel est le role que la demolition est susceptible de jouer dans l'avenir des villes industrielles en decroissance aux Etats-Unis? L'histoire de la demolition est examinee en tant que reponse politique a des problemes reels ou percus comme tels. Un equilibre entre demolition et preservation est crucial pour conserver des quartiers viables et redonner de la vitalite a ces villes. Les vieilles villes industrielles dont les bassins d'emploi et de population retrecissent sont le principal cas examine. Sont identifies les facteurs du marche qui sont susceptibles d'empecher la sauvegarde et la reutilisation d'une partie importante du parc de logements de ces villes. Des demolitions plus massives constitueront probablement un element inevitable de l'avenir de ces villes. La demolition comme la preservation peuvent etre considerees comme faisant partie d'un cadre grace auquel la revitalisation des quartiers peut etre favorisee dans ces villes. Il est necessaire de disposer d'un cadre qui mette l'accent sur la preservation de communautes viables plutot que de batiments individuels, bien que ces villes demeurent confrontees a des dilemmes encore insolubles.
