SHRINKING CITIES

The thesis defines a concept for the shrinking city of Lanškroun and its microregion. The concept intends to facilitate the city adaptation to the consequences of shrinkage, provide favourable conditions for future oportunities and maintain the existing qualities of the living conditions in the city even while shrinking as a consequence of socio-economic macroprocesses. The concept is subsequently verified on the urban detail of Lanškroun.
