Economic transformation in both the U.S. and China has created winners and losers in its respective society. While some regions are thriving, others have struggled. In this joint event organized by U-M Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies, US Heartland China Association, and U-M Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning, we have invited the leading experts on shrinking cities to explore the lessons learned from the post-industrial shrinking cities in both the U.S. and China and how both countries are learning to help the communities that are left behind in the face of technology and global changes.

Speakers: Alan Mallach is a Senior Fellow with the Center for Community Progress in Washington, and teaches in the Graduate Center on Planning and the Environment at Pratt Institute in New York City. Jianhui Yu 余建辉 is an Associate Fellow of the Institute of Geographic Science and Resources, Chinese Academy of Sciences. Lan Deng 邓岚 is a Professor of Urban & Regional Planning and the Associate Director for the Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies at the University of Michigan. Dr. Ying Long 龙瀛 is a Research Professor at the School of Architecture, Tsinghua University, China. Brent D.
