Abstract
Urban decline is not merely the opposite of urban growth. In fact, the nature of urban decline is substantially different from that of urban growth. At the root of this difference is the durable characteristic of housing. In order to understand the nature of urban decline, it is therefore essential that one understand the impacts of durable housing.
