DESCRIPTION:Guest speaker: Fernando Ortiz-Moya\, Assistant Professor\, Wase
 da Institute for Advanced Study\, Waseda University\, Japan\n\nJapan is sh
 rinking. How are its cities and towns responding?\n\nTraditionally\, Japan
 ese local governments\, encouraged by national policy\, have sought to hal
 t or reverse their decline by luring urban migrants\, increasing birth rat
 es\, attracting businesses\, and curbing outmigration. This obsession with
  growth threatens to exhaust already limited resources\, closing windows o
 f opportunity for managing a soft landing.\n\nEventually\, continuous shri
 nkage will force local governments to abandon growth-focused planning and 
 redesign their communities: they must learn to shrink gracefully. Some mun
 icipalities are already charting this different course. This presentation 
 argues that shrinking municipalities must break free from pro-growth strat
 egies\, embracing more sustainable approaches. These cities are putting so
 cio-environmental concerns at the centre of their strategies\, identifying
  new ways to transition successfully into smaller\, sustainable communitie
 s.\n\nEvent sponsors:\n\nSchool of Planning\, Public Policy and Management
