Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does the future hold for winter cities? Will the migration of people and jobs to the sunbelt prove to be an irreversible trend? This volume assesses the prospects of snowbelt cities. The contributors suggest that the future of older cities in winter climates will be influenced by: the revitalization of older industrial cities; the annexation in the growth of southern cities; the concept of 'liveable winter cities'; the evolution of transactional cities as a significant sector of the economy; and new design initiatives such as multibuilding, multiblock pedestrian walkways, and mass production of glass at a low cost.
