The concern in St. Louis is the city's significant decline in population and economic activity that occurred in the 1960's, and the rapid rate of building and neighborhood abandonment that accompanied it. Policy options are examined in light of three possible futures: continued decline; stabilization in a new role as an increasingly black suburb; and return to a former role as the center of economic activity in the metropolitan area. The most likely prognosis is that of continued decline. Given outside revenue sources, however, the author concludes that the city of St. Louis might assume a new role as a large suburb among other suburbs.
