Description
The rate of population loss of large Western cities has slowed recently after years of steady counterurbanization, raising doubts about the inevitability of this demographic process. Using case studies and census data, this shows and analyzes trends in counterurbanization. The book is intended for second and third year undergraduates studying population and urban geography.
