KunstlerCast #64: Contracting Cities & Urban Chickens

KunstlerCast - Conversations: Converging Catastrophes of the 21st Century · May 15, 2009 · 26m

James Howard Kunstler talks about two former industrial cities undergoing massive contractions: Flint, Michigan and Youngstown, Ohio . The local governments in both cities have adopted policies to manage the contraction to reduce public safety issues caused by large abandoned areas within their borders. Kunstler then responds to a listener call from suburban Chicago about the prospects of farming in the post-cheap oil suburbs. The conversation then turns to the future of former city farms.
