Chapter IV. Conclusion
Summary
This study proposes an effective right sizing strategyfor shrinking cities that cannot ensure developmentdemand. Analytic results show that vacant nationaland municipal properties account for over half of allproperties in the urbanized areas of most shrinkingcities. It was also found that nine shrinking citieshave infill development potential and that a rightsizing strategy can be effectively applied in some ofthese cities due to high development density in theirnon-urbanized areas. Based on the analytic resultsindicated above, this study proposes an enhancedright sizing strategy that utilizes the opportunitiesinherent in vacant national and municipal propertiesfrom the environmental, social, and governance (ESG) perspective. |
