Finding Resilience in Unexpected Places: Why Design Still Matters in Shrinking Rural Communities
Abstract
Most small and rural communities in the United States are shrinking. This population loss is often accompanied by economic and social upheaval—job losses, out migration of young people, school closures, reductions in local services, and deteriorating physical infrastructure. Because design firms cluster in metropolitan areas and most rural commissions are for private clients, architects are largely absent from these places.
