Abstract:
Post industrial urban decline is a direct result from cities that expanded in relation to the economic boom of manufacturing during the industrial revolution of the early 20th century. Manufacturing however has slowly abandoned some of the cities that depended on it to survive. These cities are in need of refocusing towards a service based economy where jobs will be in supply for the residents. When an environment provides social needs such as religious worship, schools, police stations, and hospitals, potential companies will see a strong community and be willing to relocate their employees to the area.
